You would think they took the numbers from the top of a boom and the bottom of a bust or something.

Well, duh. The more money you have, the more money you can make. This is not rocket science.

I thought it was "the more money you have, the more politicians you can by (in order to reduce your taxes)."

Not really, it does take money to earn money. Those with the money to gamble will strike the big payoffs, and the more you invest the bigger the return.

Of course, because for the top earners in the U.S. at least, they are paying 35% of their income in taxes (more than 1/3 of what they make), while the bottom earners are only paying 10%. I know that if I were in that top tier I would want to get that lowered!
