I am not a Republican.

It is amazing what you hear as opposed to what is said. Obama has been saying that 95% will get a tax cut and that families earning up to 250K will get a tax break. I have been hearing that as 95% of people would pay no taxes.

Funny how my mind worked on that one.

Nonetheless, even if only those families who make less than 250 K are exempted from taxes, my question is still valid. Since no where near a majority of Americans have family income of 250K, a very large percentage of Americans will not pay taxes. My point is that will have the effect of turning them into freeloaders and I think that is a bad idea, even if it will reduce my taxes. What incentive would a person have to control the rate of taxes if he or she doesn't pay them. Hell, I thought it was partriotic to pays taxes, or maybe it is patriotic only for the well off to pay taxes.

Your statement that 5%of Americans were voting themselves anything is ridiculous. You could argue that they benefited disproportionately, but they did not vote themselves anything. The sad thing is that we as a nation, inflicted this on ourselves and the sooner we begin to take responsibility for ourselves the better off we will be.
