Its not true that half the population pays nothing.
Almost 1/2 the adult citizenry pays nothing in federal income tax.... this is true
There's far more that gets paid than federal income tax.
And when you bring up the typical "they pay other taxes", well guess what, so do those who actually do pay federal income tax...
And?
I'm not really getting your point? Are you saying we should raise taxes on the poor?
Yes... there is more than income tax... but we still have a great number that PAYS NO FUCKING FEDERAL INCOME TAX..... so 1/2 are paying X and Y, and the other 1/2 are only paying Y... that is not equal treatment, dumbass
I am saying that the 'poor' should never have had a zero income tax bill to begin with, even if they only had $1 in income for the year.... you have more and more people with a zero bill for federal income tax, and if you raise them from nothing you and your ilk complain.... they wrongly had a zero bill to begin with... like I said before... it is like being in a bowling league where you have to pay dues and you slip thru the cracks and you were not charged dues for a while. Now it is realized that you are getting service without paying like everyone else and you start complaining because you have to pay. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GETTING OFF FOR FREE IN THE FIRST PLACE. So it is NOT a RAISE, it is correcting a fucking mistake
Idiot leftist
