Kevin Drum gives us a chart for the day. Here’s the background:

Every morning I take a couple of short breaks from the keyboard to do  some stretching exercises that are designed to ease my neck and shoulder  pain. I usually turn on the TV while I’m doing this, and that’s pretty  much my entire exposure to Fox News. So what were they going on about a  few minutes ago while I stretched? The fact that people get really upset  when they hear that 51% of Americans pay no taxes. Well, I’d be upset too. Who the hell are these freeloaders? Answer: they don’t exist, of course. 

Details here. Drum concludes: “I know we live in a post-fact environment, but those are the facts. Pass ‘em around.” 
Please do.

I love it when BS is blown away.

  14. bythepeople said: Why is the gray bar for federal taxes for the top 20 percent higher than the bar for federal taxes for the second 20 percent, when the rate is the same — 10.3 percent? The bars on this chart are wrong.
