Not quite true...
Those in the upper stratosphere of income pay much less than the rest of us.
The Occupy Movement has correctly identified the inequities between the 99% and the 1%... and they have also correctly identified the 0.1% and the extreme inequities there.
Do you know that the government's economic statistics regarding things like income, etc actually has an upper limit, beyond which statistics are not even kept?
That is where the 0.1% live, they made it that way, and they like it that way.
Have you been keeping tabs on
Mitt Romney's off-shore wealth?
No... we are not all paying similar percentages, at all.
