No... you did NOT. You are trying to compare two entirely different things: 1) The opinion piece I posted was specifically referring to "percent of an individual's total income" that is payed to Uncle Sam (net of deductions....) The INDIVIDUAL'S NET INCOME TAX RATE. 2) What YOU are talking about now is an entirely different statistical point: How much of Uncle Sam's total revenue (as a percent of revenue) is payed by the richest. SAMMY'S PERCENT OF REVENUE BY SOURCE. (In your example: measured from certain income slices of the population, certain traunches or percentiles....) Apples and Oranges! Neither contradicts the other!
