I hate to present facts, but here goes.

BREAKDOWN OF INCOME AND TAXES PAID BY CATEGORY

Income Category -- 2004 AGI -- % of all inc -- % of inc taxes paid
Top 1% ----------- Over $328,048 --------19% ---------------- 37%
Top 5% ----------- Over $137,500 -------- 33% ---------------- 57%
Top 10% --------- Over $99,111 ---------- 44% ---------------- 68%
Top 25% --------- Over $60,040 ---------- 66% ---------------- 85%
Top 50% --------- Over $30,121 ---------- 87% ---------------- 97%
Bottom 50% ----- Under $30,121 -------- 13% ---------------- 3%

Perhaps you should stop hating rich people for a while and worry about yourself. It might do wonders for your career and income.
