The Top 1% Pay 35% (WSJ, Dec 2006)

Your 1999 data is old, man.
Here some recent data and if you need more, let me know.

"October 4, 2005

This is the data for calendar year 2003 just released in October 2005 by the Internal Revenue Service. The share of total income taxes paid by the top 1% of wage earners rose to 34.27% from 33.71% in 2002.

Now are you going to accept the data or finding some CDD way around it? I bet so...
By the way, the current percentage is even higher, has been on a steady climb since your old - and much lower - 1999 figure.
