So either way, the top 10% are paying a majority taxes, be they federal income or ALL federal taxes. While earning far less a % of total income than their share of the tax burden.

The post I responded to of yours gave a clear impression (maybe not purposefully) that you doubted that the top 10% paid a majority. Was that a correct assumption? And if so, weren't you wrong?

If that is not what you were posting, then you posted your thoughts poorly.

It's a progressive tax, just like the FairTax claims to be.

No, that was not a correct assumption. I knew the stats you were quoting were regarding income taxes but you stated "The upper 10 % pay the majority of the taxes in this country." As the stat I quoted showed, they don't.

Glass houses...
