I guess this guy likes to have his cake and eat it too.  He makes this statement:

'It's true that the top 1 percent of wage earners paid 38 percent of the federal income taxes in 2008 (the most recent year for which data is available). But people forget that the income tax is less than half of federal taxes and only one-fifth of taxes at all levels of government.'

However, the remainder of the article continues to focus on income taxes, which he admits that the poorer folks aren't paying, but when he talks about taxes they ARE paying, he's counting things like sales taxes.  Rich people pay sales taxes when they buy anything, just as poor people do.  Most of these "facts" are worthless shifts of focus away from the intended subject.
