What percentage of total income does the IRS currently collect from total US income?

Question

I'm doing research for a debate topic and this information is hard to find.

If anyone knows the answer could you please cite your source (or yourself if your an expert in the field)

Thanks!

This shows how much tax you will owe depending on how much you make. There is not a flat percentage the IRS taxes at. It all depends on how much money you make. The more you make, the higher tax braket you fall under, and the more you have to pay.
