- 48 percent of African Americans will file a tax return with no liability.
- Zero-tax filers are overwhelmingly young, only 22 percent are 45 years old or older. The overwhelming majority of tax returns that will pay no income taxes will be filed by single individuals or heads of household (an unmarried individual with children).
- Zero-tax tax filers tend to be low-income, working part-time or full-time for only part of the work year. Nearly 50% will be on some form of public assistance (welfare, section 8, etc).
The left loves to tax people for every entitlement program under the sun, but they don't like to pay the taxes to actually support them.
Your claim is that the 48% of voters who vote Democrat are the same 48% who pay no taxes? All seniors on SS are Democrats?
What? Who is claiming that? Are you just flailing away trying to make up an argument? I'm simply pointing out that based on demographics, Demo dummies pay less of the tax burden for the U.S than Republicans.
Do you deny that democrats tend to carry the black vote?
Do you deny that democrats tend to carry the hispanic vote?
Do you deny that democrats tend to be overwhelmingly young compared to republicans?

Didn't someone say that and then he lost the election because the liberal media crucified him for stating the truth?

I believe that someone did, lifeexplorer, and lost. If that's what neo-Confederates have going forward in 2014 and 2016, then they will continue to lose. Like I said before, hatred for those less fortunate than you only gets you so far in politics these days. It might work in the Deep South and some parts of the Midwest, but not everywhere else
We are in the early stages in the creation of the American Welfare State. And a majority of voters want it. They do not care about the low growth, high unemployment, and the low standard of living that always accompanies a welfare state.
Oh, look - if you sort by the net (the ratio), far more red states take more than they receive.
Yep, those terrible "takers" supporting the "welfare state" - or it only a problem when non-whites in the inner city do it, as implied by the OP with his focus on African Americans?

Low standard of living? By the right-wing's standards, European style "socialism" (social democracy) is a welfare state. Canada, Australia, and the Scandanavian countries have higher taxes, more socialism, and higher Middle Class living standards than the American Middle Class. Please enlighten us as to how the American model works better?
The facts say, 90% of citizens do better in those countries. The top 10% of citizens would do better in America vs. those countries. Hmmmmmm....

.....if we brought back unions (lots of blacks in particular worked union factory jobs last generation), raised the minimum wage, and stopped robbing the middle class through manipulation of the financial sector, maybe there would be more lower / middle class contributions to taxes
Entitlement spending is an economic stablizer. The more we exacerbate the income inequality, the more people will receive benefits and have negative tax liability. It is an easy concept; raise the lower and middle class and more will pay taxes. Keep them down, and they will be subsidized.
