Peter, I tried my best to answer his question. We all have opinions and
prejudices... yours are obvious for sure. In any case, I challenge Dave to
say what he thinks is fair wrt taxes paid by the rich.

Fortunately, I'm just as irrelevant as you are.

What, get you to admit that while you have opinions and prejudices, you
can't put numbers against them? Understandable really - this way you
get to maintain your prejudices in a fact free manner. Of course, for
purposes of debate, it renders them - and you - irrelevant.

So now can you answer the question? Here it is again.

So, Jon, to be a "fair share," what percentage of total income taxes
should
be paid by:

The top 5% in income earners?

The top 10% in income earners?

The top 50% in income earners?

That calls for 3 answers.

What percentage of the total is a "fair share" to be paid by the top
5%
in
income earners?

What percentage of the total is a "fair share" to be paid by the top
10%
in
income earners?

What percentage of the total is a "fair share" to be paid by the top
50%
in
income earners?

And, I said I don't know. I said that what seems fair is between 10
and
50 percent. Are you really that dense? (one question)

You may want to let this one go, Dave. It's futile.
