The point you keep repeating is simply wrong. One article I linked two and quoted indirectly refered to ""percent of an individual's total income" that is payed to Uncle Sam (net of deductions....)" Even if you don't like or don't understand the indirect reference, the 2nd point in the same post, referred DIRECTLY to "percent of an individual's total income" that is payed to Uncle Sam (net of deductions....)" "Effective tax rates" (the exact words used in the post) are the percent of an individuals total income that is paid in taxes. And in case you didn't understand that, Mankiw was nice enough to directly state "(total taxes divided by total income)" And on the repost I even bolded that part for you. Come on Buddy, your too smart to not realize that "total taxes divided by total income" IS the "percent of an individual's total income" that is payed to Uncle Sam (net of deductions....)" I can't believe this has all gone over your head, so it would seem that either you aren't paying attention to the posts you respond to, or your arguing dishonestly.
