About Half of Americans Pay No Federal Income Tax

                      

A terrible precedent is set in a country when almost half the working adults pay no taxes. Because you cannot have a true democracy with divided citizen responsibility

                       

Everyone should pay something; have “skin in the game.” Small amounts, so that their wallets are affected by government largesse. And no reimbursements of what they never even paid the IRS. Those who need funds can get welfare assistance from a government agency other than the IRS.

                       

You cannot have voters who pay nothing into a system; voting for politicians whose motto is ‘soak the rich.” Those rich are too many neighbors who are earning a little more that has become taxable. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
