I just can't figure out the lies about taxes that the left reports. I've looked at these tables (Brookings) from every angle, and there's just no way but what the top 1% is being unfairly taxed more than any other group. And if you like quintiles (fifths), then the top quintile pays 24.5% and the bottom .8. To the left, that's not fair because after taxes, the rich are still rich, not impoverished, and the poor are still poor even with all those government transfers for food, housing and health. Before the recession that Obama has relentlessly encouraged, the top quintile paid even more, but they've lost a lot of ground.
