but not health care...that costs 12 grand a year for a family of 4 if you can afford it The typical family of four doesn't spend 12 grand a year on health care. Nearly all adults pay some form of tax that go to government coffers that support government programs. Working adults unusually pay payroll taxes for the entitlement programs, but a very significant fraction, approaching 50 percent, don't pay net income taxes. Your links don't address that issue very well. The Google Answers link contains information about the number of filers, not payers, and certainly not net payers. The Wikipedia link has a lot more information, but doesn't directly deal with the point about many people not being net payers of income tax.
