[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 937727, member: 1246"] You wish you could make what the rich people pay out in taxes. The rich pay PLENTY! Why don't you do some research and actually find some numbers instead of just throwing around the same line over & over and I tell you all the time about it not being true? You take lines out of context or leave a lot off of a quote. You know, that's dishonest? Romney will pay $6.2 million for 2011 taxes. If you think that's low, that's nuts. T. Boone Pickens has paid $665 million since he was 70 yrs. old. [SIZE=2]"What is the truth? What better place to go to find out the answer than the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). Taxfoundation.org has developed a couple of easy-to-follow charts based on the data provided by the IRS - I have provided a link to Taxfoundation.org below. According to the IRS, the "income split point" for somebody to be included in the top 1% of all taxpayers (by income) was $380,354 in 2008 [U](the last year where data is available). [/U]So, if you reported Positive Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $380,354 or over, then you were in the top 1% of all taxpayers in the United States in 2008. According to the IRS, this group of taxpayers (1,399,606 total) paid 38.02% of all federal individual income tax collected in 2008. The top 5% of all taxpayers (income split on this group was at $159,619 in 2008) paid 58.72% of all federal individual income taxes in 2008.
