ADDED NEW VERSION 2/10/2009

Recently the CBO published a supplement to their Historical Effective Federal Tax Rates: 1979 to 2005 report to include a breakdown of top 1% into smaller percentiles. I took the data for income and created this visualization. It is comparing the minimum income for each percentile to the average income in that percentile.

I updated a previous graph, comparing the effective tax rates for the Federal Individual Income and Social Insurance (payroll) by adding Excise and Corporate Income. Additionally, I added the tax rates for the Top 1%. Note: the effective tax rate increases for both individual and corporate income the higher the household’s income, while the social insurance and excise tax rate decreases.
