I am not harping on anything. I'm just pointing out the facts here.

It's not just a function of progressive income tax brackets, either. They'd be paying more than their "fair share" even with a flat income tax rate.

The state legislature in New Jersey had to pass a mid-year budget adjustment a couple of years ago after ONE TAXPAYER moved out of the state. He was a Wall Street hedge fund guy, and it was estimated that he paid something like $100 million to $120 million in state income taxes for the last year he lived in New Jersey. There's no way in hell a single taxpayer uses $100M+ in taxpayer-funded services no matter how you look at it. So, yeah -- he was paying far more than his "fair share."

Again, your fighting the wrong battle. If that is what you believe, then fight the progressive federal tax system. If everyone paid the exact same amount in taxes I suspect you be whining that the rich are not paying their fair share.
