Wy do the 70% of Americans who pay no tax's think it's only the rich and corperation who should?

Your statistics are wrong. Less then 44% of people pay no Federal Income taxes, not 70%. Everyone pays taxes, just not everyone pays federal income taxes. Buy something at a store and you'll pay sales tax. Pay your rent and part of that includes property taxes. The idea that some people pay no taxes is a lie.

70%?

Not sure where you got that number from.

Last I saw the number was 47% and that does not mean people paid no taxes. Everyone working pays federal, state, and local taxes that are taken directly from their pay checks. That number includes people who do not make enough so that after filing their tax returns they receive most if not all of the taxes they paid back as a refund. In the meantime the state and federal government s have used that money interest free.

Can't speak to who pays no taxes. But the "rich" or those who make over $250,000 but claim on their taxes to have made only $30,000 to $50,000 are the culprits. They're worse than those you say pay no taxes, assuming you mean the poor or close to it. Know what's worse. The Bush government provided loopholes and benefits to the rich to allow them legally state a much lower income. Same old "rich get richer on the backs of the poor and middle class". That's just wrong.

Simple stupidity.

If they understood that they pay all the Corporate taxes themselves every time they buy a product, they would Want to remove corporate taxes so they could Stop paying HIDDEN taxes and be aware of just how bad the Government is screwing them.

Then they would Do Something About It!

Because this administration as well as the socialist college professors and all the communist propaganda spewers have warped their little brains by promising them things they never intend to come through with, just to get their vote. They are entitlement minded liberals who think the world owes them everything and all they have to do is sit back and take it from them. They think they deserve someone else's hard earned money, like Obama tells them they do. It's messed up, it really is! Too many "useful idiots" (as Stalin called them).

because the lower class thinks the upper class is just sitting around all day making fun of them. In reality, the average person probably isn't qualified to tie the shoes of the average fortune 500 CEO. They are the star players on the team, or the big A list celebrity of the business world.

Maybe because they hold 80% of the country's wealth. How can you pay taxes on nothing?

Wow, only 70%?

I thought by now FOX would have you believing its 98%.

because 70% of American WORKERS are underpaid and being exploited to support the lazy rich.
