THOUGHT PROVOKING...

Interesting figures from 2007:
40.42% of taxes paid to U.S. Government came from those in the upper 1% income, with 71.25% coming from those in the upper 10% income, and 2.89% of taxes from those in the bottom 50% income bracket.
R.A.T. (Rose About Town) is still trying to wrap her mind around the implications of those figures.
