Tax Burden

The USA Today is reporting that the tax burden of Americans is at it's lowest rate since 1950.  I wonder how the right wing demagogues and the tea bag advocates reconcile this with their "we are overtaxed" rhetoric?  I really don't think these idiots care, they realize that if they repeat this lie often enough, enough lemmings will believe it and vote their way and that is their ultimate goal.  It would be really nice if people would open their eyes every once in awhile and see how they are being manipulated.  MediaMatters is an excellent resource to ferret out the truth, check it out sometime, try starting with this page.
