&#62; Tax cuts in capitol gains, lowering the tax rate on income over $250k/year,<p>And the tax system became more progressive.  The share of taxes paid by the top 1, 5, and 10% went up.<p>&#62; You mean to tell me you didn't benefit from those tax cuts?<p>Now half of US workers don't pay federal income tax.

The rich don't break even on SS.)<p>Is that good?<p>What fraction of the tax burden should fall on each income cohort?
