everyone pays taxes, not every one owes federal income tax, because nearly the first 20k that you earn as a couple is not taxable income....it's not taxable for those earning only 20k and it is not taxable on your income if you earn $1,000.000 plus.
there are millions of people who fall in to this category that do NOT receive any gvt assistance such as welfare, food stamps, or medicaid....especially those without children like our seniors on a limited fixed income....or young couples just beginning with no children.
everyone working pays payroll taxes, and their surplus SS tax revenues have been used to the tune of $2.5 trillion, to mask what the gvt has spent in the budget on things INCOME taxes should have been funding.
Everyone that drives also pays federal gasoline taxes, and many in the non income tax group pay huge federal cigarette taxes....
in their states everyone pays a sales tax, most pay a state income, and many pay property taxes...all for their schools, police, firemen etc....
then there are the huge amount of taxes collected from the poor folk who play lottery and never win...
then you have federal and state fees on everything from here to kingdom come.
being JEALOUS of the people who don't earn enough to pay federal income taxes seems quite silly to me!
Has nothing to do with jealousy. it has to do with you asswipes telling us we don't pay "our fair share" we pay our share. let those who don't pay a share pay a share before they start bitching that others don't pay their fair share..
Well, if you are in the million plus crowd, you don't pay your fair share. That will be fixed.
