Getting as close as I can, 2007, I find the following.
1/10 of 1% of the population would be 330,000.
Tax data I can only get close with some 391,432. Okay?
These people have 20% of the income, about $1.25 billion.
They pay 36% of the taxes collected, about $416.6 million.
Which is about 33% of their income!

On the other side of that is it a good thing that nearly 50% pay no tax?
