What does it cost to support IE6 vs how much revenue is generated by those 10%?

I'm not finding anything to support this, but rather the opposite.  Do you have 
a link I can reference?  The MS site keeps directing me to IE8 pages.  I did 
find a third party report that reports 2014.  
http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/08/18/microsoft-support-ie6-2014/ But I 
haven't found anything official from MS.

How about because IE6 is END-OF-LIFE and no longer supported

I work for an association that produces several newsletters for its membership, 
but a recent website upgrade is causing IE6 to display our pages poorly or not 
at all.  I would like to build an argument to stop supporting IE6 and also help 
encourage users to upgrade.  Does anyone in the group have any good arguements 
about using or supporting IE6?

Our readership is 10% IE6.  So marketing is screaming support it.  The 
developers are saying its junk anyway and they need to be off it.  I have my 
own opinions on it but would like to recommend a "general industry opinion".

So, what sayeth the industry?
