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.It's a progressive tax, just like the FairTax claims to be.
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?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.
If that is not what you were posting, then you posted your thoughts poorly.Glass houses...
I should have said the stat I quoted show the top 10% paying only a slight majority.
