Approximately 45 percent of Americans pay no federal income tax. None. Not only that, but many of those 45 percent are recipients of federal welfare payments that fall under the heading of the "earned income tax credit." Is it fair that so many Americans do not pay a penny in federal income taxes? Not unless you are a Marxist who believes Karl's mantra of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." Your ilk takes it a step further than good ole Karl did, with you ideology of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his wants."

According to you, although billionaires and other members of the top 1 percent of wage earners in this country pay far more of the federal tax bill than all of the 50 percent of Americans who pay little or no federal taxes combined, that top 1 percent is still not paying their fair share because they have more wealth than they need.

Communists and liberals like Bernie Sanders are only winning elections because of the Marxists like you who support them.

You believe that if you had things your way, the middle class would expand at the expense of the billionaires who you would relieve of their hard earned wealth but the opposite is true. In real life, when you rob Peter to pay Paul, then Peter simply takes his remaining money, leaves the game, and never looks back. If Paul had the ability and motivation to be successful, then he would not depend on thieves to support him.

I’ve already made this argument previously in the thread. That 45% includes a lot of people. I know it’s hard to understand but when you make less than 40-50k in a household you will pay no tax or another situation in you can spend a decade writing off 900 million. Both pay zero taxes.
