We could have more tax payers, as Bill Clinton suggests, if we somehow got that 49% of the population who pays no taxes to begin to pay taxes. Who knows, if that same 49% of the population that pays no taxes began to pay taxes, maybe, just maybe, our taxes could actually go down or because Washington would suddenly have more money than they could spend they would be forced to begin to payback some of that money we owe China.
It's a myth that those 49% don't pay taxes - many of them pay SS, Medicare, Gasoline, Cigarette, Alcohol, Property, and Sales taxes.
That said, it's nuts that the Federal Income Tax is concentrating in fewer and fewer tax payers.
