>> It found that of the filers who don’t owe federal income tax for 2011:

Most people probably don't object to these people not paying taxes.

The real objection is that they (a) don't pay taxes AND (b) also suck money away from those who do.

If they don't make enough pay taxes, I understand. But I don't understand that WE have to pay all the taxes AND pay for their cost of living as well.

I really don't have a lot of money left by the time I pay my own taxes. And I have to give that to them? When I work my ass off and they don't? Sorry, that just doesn't make any sense. They need to work 15 hour days, 6 or 7 days a week, like I do and if they still can't make ends meet, we can talk about it.

As to the payroll taxes these people have to pay being a large percentage of their income, that's a crock of shit. It was the LEFT who wanted those taxes. NOT the RIGHT. So, quit bitching about it. SS and Medicare were YOUR ideas, NOT mine. YOU like those programs, NOT me. And the taxes are a burden on society but come nowhere CLOSE to covering the cost of either program. So, once again, the burden of paying for them ends up falling on those who actually WORK for a living.

While Obama has definitely made the class warfare worse in this country, you've seen nothing yet. Because a fucking tax revolt is coming. Some of us have had it. I'm not working my ass off to pay 50 grand a year in taxes and to be constantly under the gun to produce more to accommodate people who aren't contributing.
