Table 6 clearly shows that from 1980 to 2003 there has been a major shift of
the tax burden to the top 10%

How do you figure that?
If you look at the *preceeding* tables, you can see that the
top 10% share of income has increased faster than their
share of the tax burden.... more than a 30% increase in
share from 1980 onward.

And you really need look no further than Table 1 (although
this disagrees with the IRS figures I recall, no need to
quibble here)

The lowest 50% of wage earners pays just FIVE percent of income taxes.


Actually, less than that. But then, their share of the
income is only 14%. Should they be paying 50% of the tax
burden with only 14% of the income, as you try to imply?

Gee, that's fair.
