I agree with the sentiment, that all should pay some income tax.
I didn't expect you to disagree. I know republicanism very well.

Would you mind identifying the changes in tax policies that led to it? Or, are you as clueless as any other typical republican?

But that is a far cry from balanceing the budget on their backs, that is just common-sense fair play.

This is the other fantasy thing about conservatives, they don't know that some of the policies that conservatives have pursued have resulted in fewer Americans paying income taxes.
Their collective blindness about reality is astonishing.
They think it is liberalism that has caused there to be so many who pay no income taxes. They are very wrong.

Who cares who caused it. I am interested in fixing it, which apparently, you aren't .
Meaningless numbers without knowing what the top 5% made. i.e. If they made 90% of the $$$ and paid 40% of taxes it's ajust a bit different than if they made 30% of the $$$ and paid 40% of the taxes.
But the right-wing regressionist that you are knew that, eh?

They made 26% of all income earned, but paid 40% of all taxes paid, so I guess that is EGG you have on your FACE.
By extending tax-cuts to millionaires and cutting Medicare and Food Stamps.
Medicare was already cut $500 billion and another $250 billion is on the table.
How much more ? They will all just move over to medicaid which will skyrocket so you really didn't accomplish anything.
And food stamps ? LOL...nope, ain't gonna happen. "Starving and dead lying in the streets" if we cut food stamps.
How does extending tax cuts balance the budget, regardless upon whose back.
Do you think about what you spew, or just spew the party line?
It doesn't and that's the point. When Republicans whine about deficits and they're asked what should be done, the first thing they say is, 'tax cuts.' The second is slash social programs. That is the definition of placing the burden on the backs of the poor.
