"My guess" Here's a key hole in your argument imo. Guessing is not very scientific. The poster you are responding to supplied the more telling statistics as to who pays what, and the ones you used are what the dems put out to color the reality of the situation. I don't have stats at hand, but the jist of it is (again) that the top 10% pay about 50% of all taxes, and the bottom 50% pay about 4%. If you think Bush's tax cut is going to make that "flat", then you are easily fooled by statistics. They would then need to change to the to 10% paying 10% of the taxes and the bottom 50% paying 50%. I gaurantee you that will not even come close to happening. And the bottom 40% will continue to pay ZERO percentage of Fed taxes. Sounds like you cannot be convinced of this, but you may want to widen your sources of statistics. The dems love to trot out the top 1% gets 30% of the break and yada, yada, yada. The truth is they get the break becuase they are the ones that pay. The dems want to GIVE money to people that don't pay taxes and call that a "tax break". It is actually called redistribution of wealth. Something they like to do with their social engineering.
