According to The Tax Foundation, in 2005 the top 1 percent of taxpayers (AGI over $364,657) earned approximately 21.2 percent of the nation's income (as defined by AGI), yet paid 39.4 percent of all federal income taxes. That means the top 1 percent of tax returns paid about the same amount of federal individual income taxes as the bottom 95 percent of tax returns.

A question I will pose to the group is how much more should folks in the top tax bracket be expected to pay? When is enough, enough?
