Where can I find income and demographics?

Who pays the largest percentage of their income in taxes?

• I'm doing a project for a political science project and I am having a terrible time finding any concise, understandable information about recent U.S. tax demographics. I'm trying to find out who pays the most amount of money (in dollars) in taxes, and who pays the greatest percentage of their income in taxes, including payroll and sales taxes. I can't find the information, but perhaps one of you knows it or knows where I could find it. Please include a credible source if you can. Thanks!
