I know this is a little off topic, but I think it’s worth sharing. According to NPR:
“..nearly half (47%) of all Americans don’t have to pay any federal income tax.”
Why isn’t Obama trying to squeeze the 100M+ people for a few dollars? I think I know the answer. 100% of these people (that actually voted), voted for him. They will again b/c the asylum has been handed over to the inmates.
So the next time people bring up raising taxes on the $250 and up club, which is only about 2% of the population, throw this little fact in their face. According to factcheck.org:
“Those reporting adjusted gross income of more than $250,000 to the IRS are projected to make up 2 percent of households next year, when the new president will take office. Those folks will earn 24.1 percent of all income, and pay 43.6 percent of all personal federal income taxes, the Tax Policy Center figures.”
You don’t make poor people rich by making rich people poor.
