Here in mn.general, "Scott Hedrick" <dinehnm@yahoo.com> spake unto us, saying:

>Amazingly enough, these are also the same people that pay a
>disproportionally large share of taxes. The top 1% of earners pay
>34% of income taxes.

What percentage of total income do those same people represent?

That might put the number into better perspective.
