So, rather than "shoveling money" to the top 1%, the top 1% is
paying 34.27% of all income taxes and the top 50% of all wage earners
are carrying the load for the bottom 50%.

Could that be because they have no money?

How about showing the average income for each of your tax categories?

How about effective tax rate by income? (2001 data is the most
recent I could find)

Earning Effective
Percentile Tax Rate
99 - 100% 24.1%
95 - 100% 20.8%
90 - 100% 18.7%
80 - 100% 16.3%
60 - 80% 7.2%
40 - 60% 3.8%
20 - 40% .3%
0 - 20% -5.6%
