Re: "Why should the rich pay more as a percentage of income than the rest of us?" >>> I didn't say they should. >>> I only said that just knowing how many dollars they pay is not enough information to understand their relative contribution in the tax system. >>> You must also know what percentage of their income, or of their wealth, that represents. >>> And then you must know the same information about any other income or wealth groups you want to compare.
