You know, I think this is probably a little deceptive. My guess would be that close to half of the people filing returns are probably marginally in the labor force or not working at all (retired, under 18, part-time workers...). Also, because FICA is not technically considered a tax, the IRS probably doesn't count it.

re:"No the IRS lists what percentage the top 5% of taxpayers pay of the entire tax collected....and down to the lowest 50% of the taxpayers that pay a total of les than 4% of the tax."
