Liberal Math

I've heard it said several times now that Barack Obama will cut taxes for 95% of Americans. Since only 60% of Americans pay income tax, I'm curious about how The One plans to pull that off. Here are a few factual income tax numbers using accepted mathematical methods.

Wage Earners		Income Taxes Paid
Top 1%		39.89%
Top 5%		60.14%
Top 10%		70.79%
Top 25%		86.27%
Top 50%		97.01%
Bottom 50%		2.99%

This chart shows where the tax burden lies and contrary to every liberal who has ever opened their mouth, the "rich" are not getting a break while the rest of the country pays all of the income taxes. That is an outright lie.

The next time you hear a liberal say Bush or McCain want to give tax breaks to the rich, just remember that 50% of the wage earners in this country are supporting the other 50%.
