This whole nonsense started with you asking, "is the top 1% paying 36% of the taxes enough?" I said you have to know how much income they are earning to answer. You said "43%." That means the income tax is regressive for the top 1%. So no, according to your numbers they're not paying enough. It's simple pre-highschool math that anyone should be able to understand. Except you don't seem to understand or have the balls to stand up for your own words. Why not? I don't think a flat 10% income tax would be able to raise the $2.4 trillion that Bush wants to spend in 2005. Do you? Steve Dietrich
