Try reading instead of repeating the same false statement over and over again. 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. What I AM and WAS talking about IS NOT how much of Uncle Sam's total revenue (as a percent of revenue is payed by the richest and IS clearly and specifically referring to "percent of an individual's total income" that is payed to Uncle Sam (net of deductions....) Again it was - "The CBO has released a new report on effective tax rates (total taxes divided by total income). You explain to me. How does "total taxes divided by total income for people in different income groups equal "how much of Uncle Sam''s total revenue (as a percent of revenue) is payed by the richest". Answer it doesn't.
