Take a look at page 86 of the Instructions for Form 1040 (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf). You'll see that for fiscal year 2006, that federal income from all sources was $2.4 trillion. - the pie chart on the left of that page shows how much (in percentages) came in from each revenue category. - for instance, just personal income taxes acounts for 39% of that number: that's $983.7 billion. That's a lot of personal income taxes. A real answer about what we pay in taxes……
