Really? The situation isn't so simple. High income earners are paying historically low taxes. Not to mention cuts in inheritance taxes from the 80s onward. You'll need to explain your data more carefully than claiming it is all being stolen by taxes.

Your argument supports that tax burden has increased for the majority - if the high income folks are proportionally paying less while the total burden has increased, this a disproportionate increase has hit everyone else harder
So you agree with his statement? A larger proportion of the average person's income is taken by taxes.
