> The bottom 50% is paying a tiny bit of the taxes

Could you show us some sources on this. I am genuinely interested to know how much taxes those with below median income pay versus how much taxes those with over the median income pay. To be fair you should include business taxes in this. That is to say how much taxes businesses with below median revenue pay and how much those with above median revenue pay.

thanks in advance,
ST

[edit sorry if the info is already in the links you provided, I am going through them now. But I am more interested in business by revenue tax break down.]
