Indeed Harv, it is interesting. Otherwise, I would not have mentioned it.

Meanwhile, Harv, the second citation you quoted actually contradicts the WSJ editorial's findings. According to the latter, the 66 Million workers whose income falls below the $35,000 average pay about 3% of the total income taxes. But according to the former, those workers reporting an AGI of $0 to $25,000 actually paid a negative amount of income tax, while those in the $25K to $30K range paid less than the 3% aggregate reported by the WSJ.

Which leaves the folks in the $30K to $35K range to make up for the entire deficit of those under-$25K folks and the shortfall from the $25-$30K folks.

Fuzzy math strikes again! [Linked Image from img.photobucket.com]
