The top 1% own and control an ever increasing share of the nation's wealth. They are getting wealthier relative to the rest of us every year. This is well documented in Kevin Phillips book.

Re: "The top 1% pays 25% of the taxes..."

>>> OK. So when also we know:

>>> a) What percentage of total individual CAPITAL they own (more than 25% of the total, less than, etc.).

>>> and,

>>> b) What percentage of total individual INCOME they account for...

>>> Then we will have enough information to intelligently begin a debate over whether they pay too much in taxes, just about right, or too little in taxes... compared to the rest of us.
