No, I don't think it was that high. Do you still have that link to the IRS report? Sorry it's top 10% own 70% of the wealth.

You guys have sold me all those poor people aren't paying there fair share. Since everyone who earns less than 50k a year gets a free ride (according to the chart below) we should find a way to have them pay off all the free stuff they are getting like (police, use of roads, education, cheap food, fire department, etc.)
This is the tax chart.
