95. You're quoting the Tax Foundation????? REALLY?
Dude, PLEASE. Try again.

Yeah, the wealthy paid more under Bewsh than they did under Eisenhower(91%), Nixon (70%) or even Reagan (50-40%). The top tax rate under Bewsh is the lowest it's been in 75 YEARS. It resulted in very little job creation. That site is skewering population growth in their data to justify their numbers.

And don't get me started on the Forbesian "flat/fair tax" crapola. Yet another bait-and-switch to let the rich off easy.

I knew if I scratched deep enough I'd find the thief underneath . . .
