Uhh, the "rich" pay a higher % of the tax burden b/c they increasingly control a higher % of the nation's wealth (thanks to Bush - btw, I'm in the "high-income" bracket, but I'm concerned since the core of a democracy is a strong, vibrant middle class).

The richest 1% of U.S. households -- those with annual incomes of $348,000 or better -- now control 34.3% of the nation's net worth, while the bottom 40% of households dispose of just 0.2% of America's wealth.

The percentages get even more obscene when you look at the top 0.1%.
