That isn't what we mean at all.
The figures are ambiguous and misleadingbecause they give no picture as to how much income has changed, who's income has changed and in what direction. If the wealthy continue to get wealthier, and the poor poorer, chances are that as a percentage of the whole tax take, the wealthy contribution to taxes will continue to increase, even as the percentage of income actually subject tax, or tax percentages, decreases.
It's a Daily Mail statistic. Sounds like it says a lot while saying nothing at all.... so it can be twisted to say anything
