Top 1% of US taxpayers pay as much as the entire bottom 95%

In case you were dumb enough to fall for Obama's line that the rich aren't paying their "fare share," here's proof that the top 1% of income earners pay as much in federal income taxes as the bottom 95%. Feeling pretty stupid? You probably should have stayed home on Election Day.

The top 1% of US taxpayers pay almost as much in federal income taxes as the entire bottom 95%, and half of that bottom group paid no taxes at all in 2010
