> The top 1 percent of tax payers pays the most tax" is a tautology.

What does "the most tax" mean? If you mean "most of the tax" how is that a tautology? If everyone paid $1 the top 1 percent would pay 1% of the total - which is far from "most".

Also, the language can be ambiguous in some places but it says "by Income Group" so the top 1 percent of tax payers probably refers actually to the top 1 percent of (adjusted) earners.

> GP talked about the uber wealthy.

And GGP talked about how "a minority of taxpayers finance the government".

5% is a minority paying 61% of the taxes.

25% is a minority paying 87% of the taxes.
