Many are getting income redistributed from the real taxpayers. You can't defend it.

There is probably no non-institutionalized adult in the USA who truly pays no taxes - no Social Security taxes, no sales taxes, no property taxes, no gas taxes. The group paying no federal income taxes consists of mostly the elderly and disabled living on Social Security, those laid off in the current recession, students with part-time work, and large families earning very low wages. All of these groups pay other taxes, often exceeding their fair share compared to 1) their ability to pay and 2) their wealth derived from economic infrastructure provided by governments. The proposed tax system sets things right by considering all taxes and the two best measures of ability to pay and government-derived prosperity: income and wealth (net worth).<br /><br />http://fairsharetaxes.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-65067105241926488152012-02-20T08:36:20.503-05:002012-02-20T08:36:20.503-05:00My mom, a 90year old widow lives on an income of $...My mom, a 90year old widow lives on an income of $18,000 per year.
