You can actually get a good idea of the full taxes paid if you look at the "average change in taxes" column versus the percentage change. Obama is still a some distance away from the comrade related nomenclature. Checkout the Socialist Party candidate's interview on the Colbert Report last night if you want a good laugh.

Tax breaks across the board are always better than sticking it to the rich folks so us "poor" folks can get a handout. What that graph doesn't show is how much those people actually pay in taxes. Only about 5-6% of that bottom 60% actually pay anything in. A very good graphical representation of Comrade Obama’s “spread the wealth around” ideology.
