What is the bottom half? Where is the income cutoff? Modest income non-self employed people I know have to pay, even with deductions.

Putting the money back in the system rather than giving to the government to waste is not manipulating the system....it is how the system is designed to work.

Medicaid - yes. Some states did not expand it under ACA, leaving a gap of lower income people who do not qualify for the subsidy or Medicaid.

Tax money also goes to support our military, you against that? If you aren't paying, you are not contributing to support the US military.

Sure I am ...possibly more than you.

I put a little over $750,000 cash into the economy in 2013.

That created jobs.

If the government had it.....who knows????

The government would not even know.
