		<description>THANKS ... Of course I believe that there are other factors that might be added:

  1) As I understand it, Social Security taxes are matched by the employer, so that the tax rate of those might be more accuratly quoted as 2 times that which are payed by the employee.

  2) As I understand it, many people feel that the state and local taxes are somewhat regressive? If you can estimate them, it might be nice to add them to your chart.
 
  3) I would suggest that you might have a final bar, e.g. the sum of the total tax rates.

  4) It might also help to remind us of the income levels that divide the quantels.


p.s. Thanks for: a) the plots of Average, thou as pointed out perhaps median income might be used, http://www.visualizingeconomics.com/2006/08/15/average-income-in-the-united-states/ 
and Real Gross National Income per Person,  http://www.visualizingeconomics.com/2007/07/22/real-gross-national-income-per-person/
are interesing. I&#039;d suggest, 

  1) also plotting income growth/shirinkage on &quot;a)&quot;,
  2) documenting if &quot;a)&quot; is in fixed or adjusted dollers, and 
  3) As it looks as though &quot;a)&quot; and &quot;b)&quot; indicate a massive growth in RGNI per serson, where as Average Income doesn&#039;t in the 1964-2005 period, where did the RGNI go?
