It goes negative, too. Perhaps those extra taxes that the people at the 
98.99% range are paying are to compensate for EIC, and not Bill Gates? 
Couldn't prove it one way or the other by the sloppy argument I've seen 
to date.

And what is a "proportionate" tax decrease for a rich man if you can 
find a poor one that had his tax rate shift from +1% to -1%, anyway? 
Isn't that a 200% tax cut? Mr. Gates would have loved to get one of those.
