Sorry about posting this twice, but Mods never merged the 2 similar threads.....
LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE....the 47% is SIMPLY ANOTHER LIE....
the lower income people pay federal payroll taxes on ALL of their incomes of which the social security surplus tax is used in the budget to mask the federal deficit, of which income taxes should be paying for.... the lower 50% of individuals also pay the bulk of federal gasoline taxes and cigarette taxes...by sheer numbers alone, and these are also federal taxes collected to pay for the federal budget. Then you add in the corporate income taxes of which the lower 50% of income earners pay every time they purchase something, and other federal excise taxes collected to pay for the federal budget, the lower 50% pays about 15% of their incomes in federal taxes going towards the federal budget, even with paying zero in income taxes....NOTE! federal income taxes collected contributeS ONLY about 30% of the revenues paying for the federal outlays/spending in the federal budget.
in addition to this, look at the chart below and look at what percentage of higher income people that pay NO INCOME TAXES...yet this scumbag and the rest of you extremely ignorant people keep touting the lie your masters have told you to say....another sad day indeed....
over 6,600,000 individuals who pay n0 federal income taxes make OVER 50,000 a year.....over 770, 000 people who pay no federal income taxes earned over $100,000 each....
over 124,000 people earning over $200,000 a year each payed zero in federal income taxes....
over 24000 people that earned from $500,000 to $1,000,000 PLUS paid zero in federal income taxes....
ARE these the 'lowlife moochers'' Romney was talking about?
and you guys bitch and moan about the 34 million people who earn less than $20,000 a year not paying any federal income taxes, of which 15 million earn less than $10k a year???
I will never understand you.....
The truth??? You're funny.
