If you went through the income taxes paid by the "super rich" I believe you
will find the actual percentage of income taxes paid to income remained a
constant.

Is that your best, pops?
Maybe stem cell research can help.

Try John Kerry's web site and the outline of the estimated income received
and the taxes expected to be paid on that income by his wife.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with the taxes paid by the "super rich".
No changes have been made to AMT which is the mechanism Congress introduced
to tax the "super rich" like Rockefeller when he was Ford's vice president
(and paid none) but which now includes in its list of targets, according to
newsreports families with sub $150K incomes, 4 or more children under 16 and
a large mortgage.
