Income taxes make up less than 50% of Federal revenues. That means that the top 1% earns 21% of income but only pays 20% of Federal taxes when they pay their income tax.
But don't let facts get in the way of your idiotic rant.

I didn't use anything that Bernie Sanders said. That is why I pointed out that the fact check of Sanders didn't apply to my comment even though the fact check said Bernie's statements were mostly true.

It's right there in table 2.1. Do you know how to tell what a decline is? Do you not know when the tax cuts were passed?

It seems you can lead a poopiehead to the facts but you can't make him read them or do the math.

Here is a simple one.
Total Federal revenues in 2000 - 2,025,191,000,000
Total revenues in 2001 - less than 2000
Total revenues in 2002 - less than 2001
Total revenues in 2003 - less than 2002

Revenues don't exceed 2000 until 2005 and at that point the increase didn't keep up with inflation from 2000

Now can you find the reduction in revenues in the 1980s?

Table 2.3 shows receipts as % of GDP.
Prior to 1980, the combined Corporate and Personal income taxes were rarely below 10% of GDP and often in the 11-12% range.
After 1982 we rarely see the combined income taxes above 10% until the boom in the late 90's which is then reduced to under 10% by the 2001 recession and the Bush tax cut.


Table 2.2 shows the % of receipts for each category.
The % of the revenues coming from personal income taxes seems to be in a fairly narrow range with a few breakout years in the 90s and then again in the last 2 years.
Once again, the drop in revenue from corporate income taxes is not completely made up for by an increase in personal income taxes. Instead it is made up in large part by increases in FICA revenues.

No. It's made up by printing money or going into debt.
Government spends too much money.

Inflation is not a factor. Base rate fallacy.

Special pleading fallacy. Revenue has always increased overall.

Fallacy fallacy. The fallacy fallacy occurs when posters (usually Into the Night) claim a fallacy because they think it will make them appear more intelligent than they really are. In this case, Into the Night is trying to argue that if the revenues go down then they still increase. A ridiculous argument that reveals how ignorant he really is and highlights why he resorts to the fallacy fallacy so often.

Yes. The opposite of 'Free Markets'.
(the usual reaction is for other countries to put a 'Tariff Wall' around their country)

Yo, mental case. 2000 Revenue = 2,025,191. 2020 revenue = 3,706,327 Has it declined or increased jackass?

Now look at the SPENDING side. Notice anything there? Leftists are the most dishonest morons on the planet. :palm:
