Who makes no distinction? Who cares!

Payroll taxes are payroll taxes.

Income taxes are income taxes.

47% of the population pays no income tax. You can spin it all you want, but the facts are facts.

Let's repeat-

payroll taxes are payroll taxes.

income taxes are income taxes

It is the mantra of the pundits that 47% in this country pay no taxes, yet do not make the disctinction, or why these people don't pay taxes. They give the assumption that 47% of America is on the dole. Who cares? you should.

Wow, don't be so hard on yourself.

By the way, what you just posted makes no sense.

well it made sense to me.

dude writing the article must be smart. I mean all the periods were in the right places.

however the gist of the article was kind of stupid.

First, no one is saying 47% are paying no taxes.

This has always been a discussion of income taxes.

more silliness from the left. There seems to be a lot of that.

(and I am not really smart. and I already know I am an idiot. Tried to use a fax machine 5 times yesterday and failed all 5 times.)

OK, let me spell it out. the pundits have used the mantra 47% pay no taxes.

They do not say why, they use it as an assumption that 47% of Americans are on the dole.

And the sheeple eat it up like puddin'
