The New York Times today looks at who pays what in taxes:

In 2009, 238,000 households filed returns with adjusted gross incomes of at least $1 million. One-quarter of them paid an effective federal income tax rate of less than 15 percent, the data shows, and 1,470 paid no federal income tax at all.

And no, sadly, cutting taxes did not result in job growth.
