I want your boat to keep floating too, however, September 5, 2010 at 2:29 pm PST As the New York Times' David Leonhardt noted: "The 47 percent number is not wrong. [...] But the modifiers here — federal and income — are important. Income taxes aren’t the only kind of federal taxes that people pay. There are also payroll taxes and investment taxes, among others. And, of course, people pay state and local taxes, too."
