Why do you think that 47% of the people pay no income tax Fool?????? 32 years after Ronald Reagan rewrote the tax code to favour the wealthy, at the expense of working Americans, 47% of the lowest income Americans were now so little money, that they NEED government handouts to keep a roof over their heads.
Reaganomics have impoverished entire generations of working class Americans. Home ownership by Americans has been steadily declining since Reagan was in office. That's why W was pushing low interest rates, and passes bills to allow people to buy homes with no down payment. W wanted to get the low rates of home ownership back up to the levels in the early 80's.
Today, low income families struggle to buy a first home. Young working class Americans trying to rise up to the middle class are being impoverished by student debt. The Reagan tax code has pushed down working class Americans. Broken the unions which helped them rise to the middle class. Then provided them with no training when their jobs were off-shored or they were displaced by technology.
47% of Americans are dependent on government programs, and you're the only first world nation without government funded health care for all, BECAUSE of the Republican tax code.
