Not paying taxes, like everyone else. I thought that was perfectly clear.
You said those earners are freeloaders. A "freeloader" is the opposite of an "earner", because earners earn their money, while freeloaders do not. Get it?
Your sensational and emotional responses aren't going to change the fact that one percentage for all is fair.
Actually, it's not.
A flat percentage taken on income after reasonable living expenses are deducted from that income could be considered fair. But failing to recognize that some people's income isn't adequate to basic living expenses, and then taking more of their income away is unfair.
Spare me your sensational and emotional responses of they should get another job. First, there aren't enough jobs as it is, and secondly, expecting the poor to work 80 hrs a week so they can pay taxes is illogical. We don't work to pay taxes, we work to provide ourselves with food, shelter and clothing.

Those "free loaders" don't pay income taxes because of Reagan's Earned Income Credit, that he called at the time “the most important anti-poverty measure enacted over the past decade” and fought for it so that the working poor would have an incentive to work.
Today's GOP doesn't believe in what Reagan believed and the only people who need incentives are the rich.
YES! As long as reasonable setback requirements are met.
e.g. a 2,500 sf lot could theoretically have a 20' x 20' house with 15' of setback on all sides; 15' is plenty of setback and usually more than is required.
No doubt there is somewhere where that can be done - perhaps not in a nice area.
Oh, like freeloaders like [URL="http://money.cnn.com/2013/02/22/technology/social/facebook-income-tax/index.html?iid=HP_LN"]Facebook, which made $1 billion in U.S. profit before taxes last year, will pay no U.S. income tax for 2012.[/URL]
No they aren't and since they aren't I didn't read further.
too bad...you might have learned something
yes a good portion of american workers are avoiding taxes by working off the books (under the table)
