The poor, those who pay very little to no federal income tax and are artificially financially supported by the government's taking of others' earnings, are overwhelmingly on the left side of the aisle. Voter demographics, here: http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/mt...0vs%20Vote.png
I checked this thread last night and it was at 7 pages.. You have a few more now. Has anyone attempted a reasonably accurate answer yet? I see a lot of moonbat diversion posts but I didn't see a reasonable answer. It certainly is a valid question considering moonbats are constantly clamoring about taxes the rich and demanding someone else subsidize their way of living yet balk at paying anything into the system themselves. They certainly don't view taxes as a shared responsibility yet they talk about taking a village all the time, social responsibility etc..
So they answer is it's hypocrisy. It's a twisted view of self believing that someone else owes them something because someone else has material possessions they do not. The really sad part is their handlers continue to perpetuate this mindset keeping them fat, dumb and angry. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
No, dems and liberals just attacked and diverted, some ran to another thread but no reasonable comments or answers from the left.
“I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.”

Your envy must be driving you towards becoming poor enough to be exempt
I don't envy the poor. I feel sorry for them. They're trapped by Dems in ignorance (no school vouchers, oppose charter schools) and poverty (financial incentive to bear ever more children out of wedlock and while earning insufficient income to support one's own progeny).
Dems manipulate them and keep them dumb and poor to maximize votes. Just look at the voter demographic chart I posted. It's in Dems' best interest to keep as many people as possible as dumb and as poor as possible to maximize votes for Dems. It's a political power thing.
The left's welfare state makes poverty more comfortable, while penalizing attempts to rise out of poverty.
This is true. A lot of people avoid finding jobs because they learn on interviews that the pay is less than what they receive in unemployment benefits. Also, people receiving welfare are afraid to work because they are afraid of losing their government subsidized life line. Why face all the unknowns with full-time employment when government checks seem to be a sure thing.
The government is taking away the incentive to work. Obamacare perpetuates this as you no longer need to work in order to have health insurance, which used to be some people's sole purpose for employment. Can't believe Biden touted this as something to be proud of.
You envy people who are poor enough to be tax exempt, so why don't you lower your income level to theirs, so you can enjoy the bliss of tax free living. I know people who are at that level, and they are ashamed of it, but can't do anything about it. I don't know what they would do if it wasn't for the help they get from us, and other family members. They are life long conservative republicans.
That isn't the only tax and/or penalty that applies.
I told you how you would be taxed if you lived overseas, and you jumped into discussing what happens when someone has failed to file taxes and now wants to give up her citizenship.
