People who have big incomes pay big taxes.
People who have little incomes pay little taxes

1% of the population has huge incomes
50% of the population have tiny incomes.
25% of the population have virtually no incomes.

Rush is wrong about the percentages as well.

That's to be expected but it would be much better if it were exactly proportionate. That is, everyone should pay the same proportion of their income in taxes. One who makes $1000 should pay 10% or $10. One who makes $100,000 should pay 10,000 or 10%. That's the only fair way to do it and the only way to ensure that selective tax cuts aren't used to buy votes.

I am fair.

If I am paying 3 times what my neighbor is, to support our goverment, can my vote be counted 3 times more than his in the next election?

The figures were taken from the IRS website. Complain to them, like it would do any good.
