47 % of voters pay no Personal Federal Income Taxes.
47 % of voters have no personal reason to increase their Personal Federal Income Taxes.

For a family of 4, that income threshold is about $ 46,000 per year.
Meanwhile, 90 % of all taxes are paid by those with incomes of greater than $66,000 per year.
We are a Polarized Nation, whose Capitol is on the DeNile River, often called the Potomac River.
