James here's exactly what I said:
"47% of our citizens pay no income tax and many are on the government dole."
I clumped then into one group. My point is that someone who pays no tax could care less about how much the others pay and are primarily interested in the "free" benefits they will receive.The Lowest tax rate(10%) in our Country is for those earning between $0 and $9075. If you work at all you'll likely ending up owing some income tax.
Never having been in this bracket; I have no idea what they really end up paying but with deductions it's probably close to nothing.
I have been in favor of a flat tax with a one page instruction form for years but there's too many people making too much money off the complexity of out taxing system for this to realistically fly.
