Who Pays Taxes

The IRS 2001 tax year report shows the following breakdown of how much people make and how much they contribute their “fair share” in taxes.

People who make more than $292,000 are 1% of all taxpayers and pay 34% of all income taxes.

People who make more than $128,000 are 5% of all taxpayers and pay 53% of all income taxes.

People who make more than $93,000 are 10% of all taxpayers and pay 65% of all income taxes.

People who make more than $56,000 are 25% of all taxpayers and pay 83% of all income taxes.

People who make more than $29,000 are 50% of all taxpayers and pay 96% of all income taxes.

I would ask which group is NOT paying their fair share in taxes?
