If you go back to my initial post I said that the Top 15/20 % pay almost or more than 50% of all taxes based on the article I posted. Then I said that I'm not sure how accurate those numbers are. I'm still not sure, but Chula's link provides more clarification which I am greatful for.

But the discussion wasn't about specificity of the percentage, it's about the fact that the rich do in fact pay a hugely disproportionate amount of taxes, even with loopholes available to them.

Do you know why the pay that large majority of taxes because they have more than enough money to pay it so **** 'em and let them pay. Nobody cares about the woes of the po' rich guy that EARNED his millions. Sure, you earned them but you didn't earn them on your own. You used government services on your way to earning those millions so pay back into the system that helped you make those millions you greedy fucks.
