Tax Burden Trend Continues...
The polarization of the income tax burden in the spirit of screwing the evil rich continues. When more than half of the voting public has been practically winnowed out of the tax paying populace, our rulers can continue to financially rape the evil rich minority with complete impunity.

These quotes come to mind on this aspect of heavily taxing a minority:
Milton Friedman:
"Congress can raise taxes because it can persuade a sizable fraction of the populace that somebody else will pay."
"A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul."
-- George Bernard Shaw
Vanya Cohen:
When there's a single thief, it's robbery. When there are a thousand thieves, it's taxation.

Taxes in 2008 vs. 1999
Snopes.com has an interesting look at the Federal income taxes at various income levels under the tax rate structure from the Clintons' 1999 and Bush’s 2008. No surprise which is lower for every income level.
If the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire, eveyone at all income levels will see their taxes jump by quite a bit.
