And the wealthiest 5% (those making over $125K/yr) are paying more than HALF (53%) of all income tax received. To me, the argument that "poor people pay more than rich people" does not seem to follow if only 5% of people are paying more than 50% of the taxes.

Sheebus. Pat Robertson had very different statistics on his propaganda broadcast the other morning.
He claimed that 98% of all taxes were paid by the wealthiest ($200k and up). Ain't he precious.
I see an inconsistency!
