    This chart has been discussed in the blogosphere. Here is an alternate view of the the same idea, scaled not by tax bracket, but by % of people.

    Thank you Tim. Seeing the two charts together is really helpful.

    Why does anyone making over $2.87 million need a tax cut…? If the top bracket seriously need a tax cut to make ends meet they must be phenomenally bad with their money.
