That 2012 45% Romney quote isn't completely accurate: 18.1 percent of American households paid neither federal income taxes nor payroll taxes in 2011, says the Tax Policy Center. Of that 18.1 percent, 10.3 percent were elderly and 6.9 percent were non-elderly households earning less than $20,000 year, which includes low-income families and students.

It's not surprising that the 1% pays that much in taxes because they make 90% of the income in the nation.

In all seriousness how many middle class people in this nation would quit their job tomorrow if the govt took over healthcare? How many would go on the dole because their kids get to go to college for free?

It's silly notion to believe that hardworking people who are getting slammed by those two institutions would throw their hands up and quit the minute they got relief.

Yeah well, not as silly (or as inaccurate) as this ^^ post. I have never suggested that working people would quit work, but that doesn't stop you from real time revision now does it?

AFTR, choices be darned, if Dems get back in the driver's seat government run healthcare is a done deal. Only the dishonest or the willfully ignorant would claim otherwise. The percentages of paying non-paying tax payers came from Market Watch. Lie on your own terms.
