No it wasn't. There *is* no federal 50% tax bracket. And the federal
tax bracket is the only thing you can use to determine ones share of
the FEDERAL BUDGET. Why you gloss over that is probably because you
don't want to admit that you're wrong. ,shrug

I've explained that I was referring to her total income tax
liability.

So, what does that have to do with her "full share" of the Federal Tax
budget?

Nothing. It was just another point that the tax burden for higher
income people is severe.
I'm sorry you can't seem to keep from confusing two separate data
points that support a similar conclusion. Still, your inability to
keep your facts straight
is your problem, not mine.

OK, so now we can agree that, according to your criterion, I *do* do
my share since I'm in an almost 50% tax bracket as well.

Why you choose to pursue this obvious obfuscation is clear. You
can't refute the fact that you don't pay a full "share" of the Federal
budget.

And you haven't shown that you pay over $21,000 in tax either.

You haven't shown that you pay $6,000 in taxes. You've said you do,
but you haven't shown us you do.

Actually, I don't think that I have. I've simply said that I pay my
share of the services that I use. I certainly pay over $7000 a year in
taxes, but that's all taxes combined, not just federal.

I'm not suggesting you need to BTW.
That is your hangup, not mine.

In the meantime, you continue to insist that you pay your share and
yet you don't admit to paying over $21,000 in federal income taxes a
year.
