"Joe the Butcher may pay 24% of his salary while Mitt the millionaire pays 15% of his salary."

and for the...4th time?...he's not paying 15% of his salary, he's paying 15% or so on his capital gains from investments he made with after-tax earned income(salary) which was already taxed at the top maginal rate when it was earned...good grief Joe the butcher is very likely paying little or no federal income tax when all is said and done if he is in the bottom 60% of earners
