Re: [RT] Fwd: Bond and S&P update - $18 crude oil

["RB" <rhodes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks,
 
 I see it was only 84% not more.  I 
wonder what it is now?
Would it be higher now?   It seems that 
this was in 2000.
 
 Thanks for the info!

  Income: Total.......1%............Top 
  5%.........Top 10%.......Top 25%..........Top 50% 
  2000: 
  .............37.42%...........56.47%.............67.33%.............84.01%...............96.09 
  
   
  The next 25% pay 3.91% of the 
  total
  The last 25% pay 
  nothing

      "if the top few percent pay something in the neighborhood of 86% of 
      all the income taxes".  Of course, they don't, so none of the rest of 
      your statement follows.
