As I was looking around the internet for economic news, I ran across this interesting article and report from the Congressional Budget Office that says the tax burden fell for those making $1M, but increased for lower levels. If you read the article, it would explain why I (as a part of the middle class) was paying more in taxes each of the last two years. Now, how is President Bush going to explain that come November?
