That income tax chart shows perfectly how unfair our tax system is for the middle class. Someone in the middle class, id assume somewhere in the 4th 20%, pays almost the same percentage of their income as someone in the top 1%. Disgusting. And people wonder why there are protests....that chart is telling.
Speaking of GDP, I was reading an article some time ago that made a co-relation between high GDP and high rates of poverty (% of people living below the poverty line), I will have to try and find it.
