Again, not true. Look at the effective tax rates. The lowest quintile pays single digit percentage (negative income tax when you account for the EITC).

Top quintile pays an effective rate of over 30%.

For some reason the bottom quintile doesn't seem to make use of offshore tax shelters quite as much, as the top quintile.

To those who have much, more will be given...
