Surely, people like you need to spend more time counting your blessings in being that you're not part of that 50% crowd on welfare you so deeply resent.

Exactly-


When half of the nation lives, by the graces of a leftist government, off the labor of the other half, conflict is just around the corner. Such a ponzi scheme which rewards lethargy cannot go on forever. This will lead to the breakup of the nation, unless the dependent class has some financial stake in the nation, i.e. having to pay something in taxes for all the programs they want. Otherwise it is money for nothing- who would not want that?

The "treat bucket" is empty, which erodes nearly all the political power of the left. No treats- no votes.

You're either a liar or completely ignorant because the reality is EVERYONE pays taxes in America and the total tax rate is almost completely flat in America.

FACTS:



You'll notice that each bracket pays pretty close in percentage points of how much percentage of income they earn. America's taxes are extremely flat when you look at total taxation because EVERYTHING other than income tax is regressive. Don't take my word for it, read this articles from the Economist, the BBC, and NBC News.

Taxes and the rich: Looking at all the taxes | The Economist
BBC News - How Americans view wealth and inequality
Is US income gap wider than you think?- MSN Money

A rather great blog written by an economics professor at the University of California Santa Cruz: Who Rules America: Wealth, Income, and Power

Ranting such as that above only goes to prove you are totally cluess when it comes to the facts and reality, or that you don't care about the facts since they do not fit into your warped POV. Have a Nice Day

Think4 yourself - Thank you for that chart.

The FACT that someone making a little over $1,000 per month has to pay $175 in total taxes is absurd. That leaves them $825 for food, cloths and rent. That is not a lot at all.

Now at the top of the heap are people making a lot over $100,000 per month and having to pay $33,000 in total taxes per month. That leaves them only a mere $66,000 left over for food, cloths and rent. How can anyone survive on so little?

Only about 13% of people pay no taxes at all.

Income tax isn't the only federal tax there is, you do know that, right?

It's not 50/50. 60% of Americans receive some form of Government payment from one program or another.
