Flat Tax

Kevin Drum has a couple of charts showing just how flat our tax system is right now. When all taxes are considered, the top fifth pay about 19%, the bottom quintile 18%, and the middle three quintiles from 14% to 17%.

The truly rich probably pay quite a bit less, since much or most of their income is hidden from taxation.
