RT, here is your facts.(http://www.allegromedia.com/sugi/taxes/#Head-3.htm). They actualy have it around 80/20 with the bottom 20% in the minus bracket. I am sorry for bringing politics to this fishing board, but some people, especialy young new voters like chris get their info from from like minded people (fisherman) like hammerhead and fishstick, who say things that are not accurate. I know when I was young I used to listen to what ever anyone on MTV said, and make a fool out of myself in political conversations. I will drop this conversation and try to stick to fishing. Although I am an obvious right winger, I have no intention on voting for Slade, so please don't take my arguement as a plug for him. He is obviously full of s**t, and does not care about the environment. Again I am sorry for getting away from fishing.

Here's another that has it at the top 25% paying 80% (http://www.reagan.com/HotTopics.main/HotMike/document-7.29.1997.1.html) but interesting, the top 1% of wage earners pay 30%. OK i'll quit.
