I CITED:
The richest 1% paid 39% of the income taxes, up from 37% in 2000.
The richest 5% paid 60% of the income taxes, up from 56% in 2000.
The bottom 50% paid 3% of income taxes.

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.

Of course you can...

Having SUCCESSFULLY CAUGHT AND EXPOSED YOU AS A LIAR I am entirely
happy to be DONE WITH YOU.
Learn to love your lies.
They will follow you forever.
