Al,
First it's not true that they pay nothing...
a) I said they pay next to nothing in federal income taxes. OF COURSE they pay a significant portion of their income in sales taxes, FICA, Medicare, etc.

b) This contradicts your assertion that "taxes have never been lower." But then again, you've never been able to keep a consistent argument, so I think I'll stop here, LOL ...
