No matter what you hear from the biased press in their totally unsupported by facts love feast with the phrase "99%ers" the IRS reports of the ACTUAL composition of who paid what and how many there were HERE are the FACTS from 2008 tax returns of individuals.
Total % of Income % of Taxes paid % of
Tax returns of Returns returns in(billion) Income to IRS income
the "99%ers" 141,551,657 99.4% $6,794 82.2% $688 10.14%
The "1% ers" 898,912 0.6% $1,468 17.8% $342 23.35%
SOI Tax Stats - Individual Statistical Tables by Size of Adjusted Gross Income
In summary the "1%ers" paid 23% of their income while the 99%ers paid 10%... IS THAT FAIR???
