50% of the people do not pay taxes. They then have no investment in the country.
we have to rethink taxes and go to the fair tax. everyone is then invested in the country. everyone has more take home.We will have a bunch of tax lawyers needing work as well as IRS agents.
Close the borders. Aggressively use the present laws to go after those that employ illegals. Deport illegals. Then make a simple work visa program matching companies with those that want to work.

Well, I happen to disagree with your very first statement, so that kinda invalidates the rest. I'd say that close to 99% of the people pay some kind of taxes. Can you back up the 50% claim?

The right wing Zombie Lie......only 50% of people pay taxes........LOL
Please provide evidence, a link to prove your statement. YOu are saying it is a lie. So where is your proof. It is pretty unethical to do this without something to back it up.
This is EVIDENCE BTW: Evidence that refutes your claim.
The consequence of turning the tax code into a tool for social policy is that we now have a record 52 million filers off the income tax rolls. This means 36 percent of all so-called taxpayers actually pay zero in income taxes after taking their credits and deductions. But these figures don't include some 15 million people who work but don't earn enough to file a tax return. When these people are added to the non-payers, estimates the Tax Policy Center, the percentage of households who don't pay income taxes rises to 47 percent. http://articles.cnn.com/2010-04-15/o...?_s=PM:OPINION
Furthermore when you add the illegals who don't pay and don't file the % is much higher than 50%. Evidence based debating. Now that is how you do it BTW.
