No. Re: "The poster you are responding to supplied the more telling statistics as to who pays what." >>> But he didn't supply the necessary other half of the equation: how much wealth or income that represents, without which information no questions of 'fairness' can be answered. >>> My statistics were never disputed. (In 1999, a 7.9% spread between the effective average tax rate of the 'richest Americans' and the effective average tax rate of all Americans.) >>> As to whether last years tax changes (or this year's further proposed changes) will reduce the effective spread even more, time will show the results. >>> But, I believe the spread will be reduced even further.
