You can repeat your earlier comments all that you want to....

But you are *still* trying to compare two entirely different things:

1) The opinion piece I posted was *specifically* referring to "percent of an individual's total income" that is payed to Uncle Sam (net of deductions....)

The INDIVIDUAL'S NET INCOME TAX RATE.

2) What YOU are talking about now is an entirely different statistical point: How much of Uncle Sam's total revenue (as a percent of revenue) is payed by the richest.

SAMMY'S PERCENT OF REVENUE BY SOURCE.

Apples and Oranges!

Neither contradicts the other!
