No wonder so many of you are poor.
Actually the 47% who you hold dearly, overwhelming reside in conservative states.

Guess which one we're getting more of? Exactly what our country incentivizes... FAILURE. We've had 3 years in a row of record-breaking poverty levels and record-breaking numbers of food stamp recipients.

Do you always pretend you didn't read what I wrote? Do your tables INCLUDE FICA taxes? If not, you weren't paying attention. Don't negate the taxes others pay.

One chooses how they debate and discuss things with people, yet you choose to generalize and insult tens of millions of people as moochers just because they don't make enough income to be taxed under law.

It's pretty pathetic, but hey the things people say when there are no consequences.

Yes. That's what TOTAL effective federal tax rate rate means.

There's a separate listing of federal income tax only. It's plain as day on the chart. Are you functionally illiterate?

Did you even look at the labor participation rate? Did you somehow miss the fact that many millions of working-age people aren't even working?
