Right. And they pull down the greatest amount of income. The top 1% account for more than 20% of the income. The top 10% for more than 50%. So 90% get to split less than half of all of the income. In fact, the top 1% make almost twice what the bottom 50% do. And, to add insult to injury, the top 1% have taken almost all of the income growth since The Great Economic Bellyflop of the Bush administration. Most of those in that 47% who pay no income taxes are either retired, on disability or active duty military. They aren't just blah people... Yeah. My heart bleeds for the top 10%. And I am one of them.
