看看财长亲口说的话

"America is a less equal country today than it was ten years ago, in part because of the tax cuts for the top 2 percent put in place in 2001 and 2003," said Geithner. "The most affluent 400 earners in 2007 -- who earned an average of more than $340 million each that year -- paid only 17 percent of their income in tax, a lower rate than many middle class families."

哈哈，17%的税！还不用交SS和Medicare，因为收入基本都是Long-term capital gain和dividend.
