To summarize what musclemom posted for those who don't like to read:
Those people who make too little to pay federal income tax, do pay
-PAY ROLL
- State income tax
- Federal social security
- Federal Medicare tax
- Property Tax
- Sales tax
- State licensing and registration fees
- etc
So the talking point that "half the people don't pay taxes", is bullshit.
And while Republicans want to whine about poor people, democrats are trying to find ways to improve the opportunities for the less fortunate, so they will have sufficient income to be taxable at the federal level. Win win.
And about half the people not paying federal income tax are Republicans who are going to vote for Romney, because, I guess they enjoy the disrespect.
Now, think about how the percentage mentioned above is related to the vast amount of wealth that has shifted to the very few super wealthy in this country. Think.
Money shifts to the hands of the super rich, and more and more people fall into poverty and below the taxable level. Totally predictable. Which works in republicans favor, because then they complain about the "freeloaders", and fuck them even more.
Lower taxes for the rich, and take away programs to help regular people. The inevitable result of republican economics should becoming clear to you by now.
