Re: "Until you can convince me that 14.1% is higher than 22%" >>> You obviously don't read very attentively. >>> I clearly stated the figures from 1999... that the 'average' effective tax rate was 14.1% (up from 13.9% the previous year) and the average effective rate for the richest was 22% (DOWN 1/3 from the previous year because of the effect of the Clinton signed tax changes). >>> My figures showed the spread rapidly narrowing. >>> You are merely repeating my own figures back to me. >>> I further stated that last year's tax law changes were likely to depress the 'spread' to nil. (Obviously the official figures aren't out yet, but any fool can see). >>> You haven't 'proved' anything... you haven't sited any figures or studies that show anything different from the ones I posted. >>> Your hatred for the Middle Class (the 'Beast of Burden' in our system) is curious. What are you, a Royalist?
