We are having a circular discussion here, again.

Why would you need to have some data saying such a thing by top taxpayers? Such a person would most likely not say such a thing. Well maybe Donald Trump. The problem is that "rich" still has not been defined. And the proposals to raise taxes on the "rich" is not a tax on the "rich" at all but a tax on upper income earners. And it is among those upper income earners that pay the majority of all federal and state income tax among earners. And that is completely an unfair tax. I am not going to change your mind and you have been utterly unable to change mine as your facts are no less biased than mine.
