Ouch... I would never define it that way. Tax burden should be measured 
in dollars. There are arguments for and against inflation adjustment. If 
one person makes $10,000 and another makes $10,000,000,000.00, a 25% tax 
rate generates very different tax burdens.

This is one of the places the argument got sloppy the first time 
through. The argument keeps mixing tax rates and percentages of total 
taxes paid, rather than a consistent unit like dollars.
