"I'm amazed an intelligent person like you doesn't doesn't do his Google homework before carrying on like this."

Where do you think I got the numbers from?

allegromedia.com

Now that was for 1999. 21% for the top 1%.

This one claims 22.7%

ncpa.org

There are more. No one claims 35% or 40% that I was able to find.

Your CCD is showing...

Again, the 1% of the taxpayers pushing at approx. $350k declared income (varies between 2003-2005) right now deliver >35% of the total tax revenues.

If they are paying 35% of the tax revenues, then they have to be making a huge piles of money. Which begs the question again........why do you care so much?
