my original point was that the right keep misleading people by saying that 46% of people dont pay any taxes

DUDE.....you post a LEFTIST site, and then quote numbers from a LEFTIST site, and then back those number up with a tool written and developed on a LEFTIST site..........

RIGHT.

Look at the tax tables, and YOU TELL ME how they get to those conclusions. While I'm certainly not an expert on pretty much nothing, I can look at the details and make an informed decision.

With regards to the TAXES they actually pay.. EVERYONE knows they pay taxes. City, Locality, State, Sales, Property.......Fuel. I've never said they don't pay taxes. I've SAID they don't pay Income Taxes. And INCOME TAXES are the taxes that are used to pay for most of the programs they USE.

Progressive taxes are unfair taxes.......A simple solution to all my bitching about taxes is to simply make EVERYONE pay something. Hell, I will settle for eliminating the EARNED income credit instead....After all Earned Income is simply a giveaway of MY MONEY to someone who didn't EARN IT.
