I was quite surprised to learn that ... less than 1% of the population in this country pay 65% of the entire tax base.
I'm not surprised to see you think parroting GOP Rate-Run media lies is "learning."
According to the below linked pdf of the CBO tax report, on page 19 Table 2 in 2008 the income tax share for the top 1% was 29.8%, and on bottom of page 18 their share of the total Fed tax liability was 20.7%. No matter how you spin "entire tax base" your 65% claim is a lie!!!
