Even if true, they should pay more! The top marginal tax rate was 91% back during the Eisenhower presidency and now we're arguing between 35% and 39%. Shame!

it's highly probably that the richest 10% pay MORE in terms of percentage of total income taxes than they did back in Ike's day.

There's a reason why the AMT was enacted (not necessarily directed at jmf) after all.
