In 2003 the president and first lady Laura Bush reported $822,126 in adjusted gross income and paid $227,490 in federal income taxes.

That's approximately 1/4 of their income in taxes or 25%.

I THOUGHT THE RICH DIDN'T PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.

Your mistake is assuming that 25% of one's income is a "fair share". To a reasonable person it is. To a flaming class-warfare 'rat 90% is probably more like a "fair share".
