"The lower 95% pay 60% of the taxes but make only 50% of the money Thats 95%. So figure on an individual basis how much each member of that 95% group pays at a 60% total compared to the 5% and what they pay at a 50% Total.
Ie; one guy paying income tax on 1.5 million earned income(Which by the way would not happen since he would shelter all of that), pays less than twenty guys pay making 75k$ per year."

Your numbers are wrong to start with. The top 95% pay 50% of the taxes while making 60% of the income.

The top 5% (a small minority) is paying as much as 95% (a large majority) in taxes. In other words a small handful of people who only make 40% of the income is paying the same as 95% of the people who make 60% of the income. Just using simple numbers ok. If the top 5% make 40% of the income, they should pay 40% of the taxes. Not 50%. Again this is assuming your numbers are correct which you haven't been able to prove. And I don't believe.

Try to understand Manual ok? Give it your best shot. Here is the quote from the site. Ready? Read carefully now. Here we go...

"the top 5 percent of taxpayers paid more than one-half (53.3 percent) of all individual income taxes, but reported roughly one-third (32.0 percent) of income."

Now if the top 5% paid 53.3% of all individual income taxes (a small minority of people paying over 50% of the taxes taken in.) And only made 32% of the income (not the 40% you stated) then that means 95% (a vast majority of the people.) Paid only 46.7% of all individual income taxes taken in at the same time making 68% of the income.

So let me try to simplify this as much as possible for you. Ready? He we go....

Top 5% made 32% of the income - Paid 53.3% of all taxes

Bottom 95% made 68% of the income - Paid 46.7% of all taxes

Ok? Get it? Not fair see? If it were fair the people making 68% of income would pay 68% of the taxes. Do you think it's fair that a group of people who make only 32% of the income should pay 53.3% of the taxes?

But let's stay on point! The thing you are supposed to be showing me is that the wealthiest people only pay 5%-8% in income taxes. This is what you stated and what you are supposed to be proving.

On top of this you are also suppose to be disproving the fact that the Bush tax cuts actually resulted in the rich paying more taxes and not less as you complain about, the "so called" tax cuts for the rich.

The Alternative Minimum Tax was created in 1978 when Carter was President and the Democrats controlled congress. So how is it something the Republicans pushed through?

And why should a person have to pay a higher tax rate because they earn more? Shouldn’t everyone just pay the same rate, and stop some of the money sheltering.

I agree we should all pay the same amount. A progressive tax is completely unfair. As we talked about above. A flat tax would be ideal.
