Who's not paying federal income tax?
Lower middle class don't pay federal income tax. I think it would be more troublesome to find out that 83% of our Americans make less than 30k a year...
Your "agreeing" to cripple out economy and increase our debt. Raising taxes on those that spend every dime of their income will slow growth and put us back into recession. In fact every dime more taken from those taxpayers will come out of consumer spending whicj is more than 2/3 of GDP
He clearly thinks we need even more government and that government needs even more money.
Perhaps you did not properly read what I said: "First off, almost HALF of the 'taxable' people in the USA, pay zero federal income taxes."
Thus your link verifies what I said.
And believe me, you can make a good bit more than 30K and still pay no federal income taxes. The tax code is so insane, there are all sorts of loopholes, and deductions. But you only addressed one little point of what was said.
Do you yet understand that the very rich are paying at a different rate for a reason? Do you yet understand that as far as 'wage earners' go, the more you make the higher the rate?
more than 80% of tax filers pay some kind of federal tax. And that doesn't include sales taxes, state taxes, local taxes, gas taxes, etc., which catch just about everyone.
No, there still has to be a point at which we say they cannot pay taxes. You seriously think someone can afford to give away $3k in federal taxes if they make 10k a year (Even 15k although I don't know where we should draw the line)?

Yup. Everyone pays taxes. I don't care if it's a $1, you pay something into the kitty. No on gets to walk away from paying their "fair share" of the debt.
How long do you think this country is going to last when 48% of taxpayers get everything back they've paid in and 52% are picking up the tab for the whole country? If those percentages reverse we'll all have a firm grip on the last rung on the ladder of life.
Gov't = More for me.
why do I have a duty to fund someone who cannot fund themselves-usually DUE TO THEIR OWN MISTAKES AND LACK OF EFFORT
and why should those people be able to DEMAND WE PAY MORE AND MORE For stuff they want without THEM PAYING MORE THEMSELVES
I will be a libby do gooder until you stop your war on the poor.
You should have written that phrase as "war on the poor", before you know it it will become like "share the wealth".
TurtleDude, people are victims to their upbringing. They are victims because no one gets to decide whether they are born into a drug feigned family with a low IQ. So yes, we are subsidizing victims. Laugh at it all you want but that is the truth.

This sounds like a time to say this - "bend over, grab you boot straps, and pull you arse out of the mess you're in. Or you can always use the fall back plan of doing nothing and wallowing in self pity and poverty.
yeah more of the NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BEING A SCREW UP crap again
but why am I responsible for someone else being a screw up if they are not
Because they are a victim of a society you take part in.
Because they are a victim of a society you take part in.
Who says that to them though? In fact, who even convinces them of that?
that is pure idiocy. If people are not screw ups due to their own fault than I certainly cannot be blamed for someone else doing drugs, having 5 children before they are out of a training bra etc
If you don't know your poor, then you're happy as your are. If you do know you're poor and do nothing, then you're happy as you are.
Every book in the world can't on smack smarts into people who are "happy as you are".
there are benefactors of society as well.....
in fact, nearly all of us benefit..
could it be that the victims are often those who refuse to take a
responsible approach to the society in which they live?
Yes you can because you are a part of society that allows that to exist.
I know people who live extremely simple lives, owning little or nothing. They appear to be poor, AND happy. That is their choice. But too often our poor are people who just quit trying.
I like to compare some of my siblings who make excuses for being broke or poor to the younger sister of a friend. This gal has Down's Syndrome, and was employed most of her life.
Enough with excuses....get up off the couch and go find something useful to do...
OK, you are young, let me make this a teaching moment for you.Yes you can because you are a part of society that allows that to exist.
