Now at Yahoo News, Rt Wing Crap...

title of story:

Fact Check Rich Taxed less than Secretaries.

9th paragraph down....so you can find it....

http://news.yahoo.com/fact-check-rich-taxed-less-secretaries-070642868.html

This year, households making more than $1 million will pay an average of 29.1 percent of their income in federal taxes, including income taxes and payroll taxes, according to the Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank.

Households making between $50,000 and $75,000 will pay 15 percent of their income in federal taxes.

Lower-income households will pay less. For example, households making between $40,000 and $50,000 will pay an average of 12.5 percent of their income in federal taxes. Households making between $20,000 and $30,000 will pay 5.7 percent.

The latest IRS figures are a few years older — and limited to federal income taxes — but show much the same thing. In 2009, taxpayers who made $1 million or more paid on average 24.4 percent of their income in federal income taxes, according to the IRS.

Those making $100,000 to $125,000 paid on average 9.9 percent in federal income taxes. Those making $50,000 to $60,000 paid an average of 6.3 percent.

This garbage is being put out today. "according to Tax Policy Center"

........29.1 percent ...including income taxes and payroll taxes..

then later ...Those making 100 to 150,000..on average 9.9 percent in federal income taxes..(no payroll taxes or health care deductions.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So if you do not read it carefully, you do not get the lie.

That is what is going on today. ...........wanted you to know....
