Not that class warriors were ever swayed by facts, but from
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_percentage_of_federal_income_tax_is_paid_by_the_wealthy:

Some quick statistics: The top 1% of earners pay 21.20% of all taxes paid
at an average rate of 24%, the top 2 - 5% of earners pay 14.55% of all
taxes at an average of 18% (Top 5% pay @36% of all tax) The bottom 50% pay
3% of all tax collected at an average rate of 2.98%.
