Perhaps you would believe the IRS web site ... but I doubt it.

You can go here and crunch the numbers yourself
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/09in12ms.xls

you can go here, to the congressional budget office report:

http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/f.../201117pap.pdf

and find that between 1979 and 2007 the income of the richest 1% grew
by

TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE percent

did their taxes go up that much?

nope. in fact they went DOWN

Since there was no change in the tax law between 2007 and 2009, how do
you explain that.

BTW why make a statement that is not supported by the link you post.
Do you think I won't read it and take your 275% numbers at face value

Your article seems to make it sound like Wall Street INVESTORS took
the worst hit.

"house prices declined 17 percent and the Wilshire 5000 index of
publicly
traded equities fell 39 percent."

Yet you think it is all gravy for us.

IOW you didnt read the CBO link i sent

no wonder. it's not faux news so you dont believe it
