Truth about taxes. (Scan).(tax policy allegory)
We took a little allegory e-mailed to us and updated it with current IRS data:
Let's put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner. Each bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bills the way we pay our taxes (the figures below reflect actual IRS payments by U.S. taxpayers), it would go approximately like this:
* The first four men--the poorest--would pay nothing
* The fifth would pay $1
* The sixth would pay $3
* The seventh $6
* The eighth $9
