<<<<<Please clarify this ridiculous statement.>>>> Corrected statement; "Almost half of wage earners pay no federal income taxes." ..............We were discussing income taxes, I assumed my statement would be understood by everyone to mean federal income taxes. SS taxes shouldn't be running the government. The fact they are is now a mistake of Obama's!!! I still do not count them as taxes but as belonging to our retirement system. They should be accounted differently and that they are not has been magnified during the Obama administration. Any state taxes have NOTHING to do with running the federal government and balancing our budget. The discussion at hand.
