Hablando de desigualdades...

Del IRS:

IRS data shows that in 2007—the most recent data available—the top 1 percent of taxpayers paid 40.4 percent of the total income taxes collected by the federal government. This is the highest percentage in modern history. By contrast, the top 1 percent paid 24.8 percent of the income tax burden in 1987, the year following the 1986 tax reform act. Remarkably, the share of the tax burden borne by the top 1 percent now exceeds the share paid by the bottom 95 percent of taxpayers combined.

Pueden creerlo? el 1% superior de los contribuyentes aporta más que el 95% inferior de los mismos....y después dicen que los ricos no pagan suficientes impuestos!
