Zeev, Some figures on short notice.

From 1997 IRS figures, which may be the latest available:

INCOME NUMBER TAX
GROUP RETURNS PERCENT LIABILITY PERCENT

Less Than $15K 19.5M 20.4% $ 10.6B 1.4%
15K to 30K 24.6M 25.7% $ 47.2B 6.2%
30K to 50K 22.6M 23.6% $ 95.0B 12.5%
50K to 100K 21.7M 22.7% $ 200.2B 26.3%
100K to 200K 5.4M 5.6% $ 131.7B 17.3%
Over 200K 1.9M 1.9% $ 277.7B 36.4%

Total 95.7M $ 762.4B

IRS maintains a lot of statistics. I get there by using this site:

taxworld.org

Then go to Tax Sites, Government Agency, IRS-The Digital Daily, and
Tax Stats at the bottom.

Now then, I'm in the lowest group. A part of me says soak the rich,
but that doesn't make it fair.
