Almost 1,500 millionaires didn’t pay income tax in 2009, according to the report.
I'd like to draw PoliticalChic to this.

And why would that be when Conservatives have long opposed government handouts for everyone?

Americans are the richest 5% of the world. We are all the well-off.
Hence, we should end welfare/subsidies, etc for everyone.
Let's get back to what America really means: Liberty to choose your own destiny.
Yep, Sen. Tom Coburn was half right.
Let's end it for the wealthy and poor alike.
The Bible has well over 100 passages telling us to help the poor. To read those passages go to this link:
Bible: Caring for and serving the poor
The GOP House took the time to reaffirm the US motto "In God We Trust". Most of those who cry and moan about helping the poor are conservatives who support the GOP and also claim to be good church going Christians. Maybe, instead of whining about helping those in need, they should heed to the Bible and follow their leaders to the point of "In God We Trust", instead of openly contradicting the Word of God by their actions.
Helping the poor should never be a partisan issue because it's a Christian issue because God told us to take care of the needy.
Does the Bible say it's okay to steal from some in order to give to others? Or, does it say Christians should be charitable? Helping the poor should never be a partisan issue because helping the poor is not a role for government, it is a role for charity, religious or otherwise. We have no national religion, in case you've forgotten that.
And then there's that pesky law of the land in which you'll find no authority allowing the federal government to give money to the poor.
Gosh, you're argument is falling apart quickly.
I think that Senator Coburn realizes the depth that the subjects brought up by the OWS people are resonating with the American Public, and wants to be on the right side as this comes down on November 2012.
There are no tax breaks for big oil that are exclusively for them. They take advantage of the tax breaks available to everyone in the tax code.
However, tax breaks aren't hand outs, welfare, nor a subsidy. So it's a moot point.
Strange statements from Colburn. Maybe he's switching parties.
And why would that be when Conservatives have long opposed government handouts for everyone?
$30 billion eh? Gosh, that's like 7 days of federal expenditures. Problem solved!
That said, if we're going to have an income tax, I agree we should eliminate all the tax loopholes and make EVERYONE pay.
Who is stealing from whom?
Why is the working class seeing a decline in wealth and has seen flat wages for years? During the time frame which saw workers wages stagnate, the top tier saw their wealth and income rise.
Yes! More suffering for the poor!

Nobody is stealing from you. You're being legally taxed as enacted by the legislature where YOU have fair and proportional representation, as determined by free and fair elections.
Oh, and the bible says to give unto Caesar that which it Caesar's.

Please point to the enumerated power giving the federal government the right to force citizens to support welfare, Medicade, Medicare, Obamacare, etc, etc, etc.
That Congress has violated the law of the land does not make them Caesar.

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it unconstitutional.
