An important figure - the only figure that seems to penetrate the haze that surround the cognitive centers of some people - is what percentage of income was taxed. Generally that just means the FITW and FICA. Those numbers would be very beneficial, even if just to say that see, this tax percentage was used to produce these results

because we have defined away much of the income of the rich as not being income worthy of taxation.

The ratios therefore show the rich paying much more as a ratio than they do.

Indeed the trusts and off-shore contracts makes finding the income of the rich - even if we had the Alt min income numbers - a fun game.

In Class warfare - always bet on the rich!
