does "you didn't build that" mean taxPAYERS didn't? it certainly wasn't the 47% paying no income taxes.?

Update:

there's this thing called an earned income credit...i know plenty of people that use this to pay their ENTIRE property tax bill. i live in the middle of the "working class poor". you obviously have no clue what you are talking about.

    All wealth comes from the Private Sector.

    I'm not sure where Obama got his degree from but the Government "didn't build that".

    sorry to dispute your premise, but if you were working poor you would know how stupid you sound.

    every person in the USA that makes $400 or more in a month pays tax based on income. there are no deductions or exceptions. it is called FICA if you worked for an employer, or 15% Self-Employment tax if you worked on your own. Yes it is not called "income tax", instead it is a tax based on your income.

    so blast away at the working poor, at 15% they paid a higher tax rate than Romney did last year.

    The 47% pay no income taxes because they don't earn enough TO pay.

    But thay ARE taxpayers as they pay other taxes.

    So what's your point?
