YOU SAID: [The bottom 50% paid 3% of income taxes...] "and essentially
all the payroll tax with a significantly higher share of
property, sales & excise taxes."

Your CITE SHOWS: The highest income group paid 23-cents per tax dollar
to Federal Payroll taxes and the lowest income group paid 21-cents per
tax dollar to Federal Payroll taxes.

YOU LIED.

YOU SAID: [The bottom 50% paid 3% of income taxes...] "and essentially
all the payroll tax with a significantly higher share of
property, sales & excise taxes."

Your CITE SHOWS: The Total State and Local Taxes Averaged is $9,400
per taxpayer, with the LOWEST FOUR income groups paying $28,666
COMBINED and the SINGLE highest income groupo paying $24,421.
 
YOU LIED.

Obviously you have NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT:

Payroll Tax: Your contribution to Social Security and Medicare: 15.3%
of your salary, up to a limit, half of which is paid by your employer.
A huge number of people pay far more in payroll taxes than they do in
income taxes. On the other hand, the payroll tax isn't a true "tax" in
the sense that it isn't supposed to be a source of revenue for the
government - it's supposed to be a contribution to an account that
you'll be entitled to withdraw benefits from at a later date. For that
reason payroll taxes generally aren't included in discussions about
tax cuts: the only way you can get a cut in your contributions is to
(a) accept a corresponding cut in benefits, or (b) have your benefits
subsidized by somebody else, or (c) reform the entire system.

Your feeble attempt to change the subject has FAILED.
