"The truth is that the progressive tax curve has become sharper in recent years. While taxes for the lower 50% have indeed gone down, taxes for the upper 50% have gone up."

It still contradicts your assertion that taxation has never been lower. The truth is that the progressive tax curve has become sharper in recent years. While taxes for the lower 50% have indeed gone down, taxes for the upper 50% have gone up.

... and that's why it's reasonable to say that taxes have gone up.


Say what?
