What is not said in those figures, and what will make the difference in the transition, is that only about 50% of all of us pay taxes at all. That certainly includes me, I get an undeserved earned income credit, and possibly you.

This is exactly what I said. Perhaps I could have been clearer that I was talking about the 50% who did not pay taxes but even with that, the construction of the sentence is clear. The sentence says, "That includes me and possible you." The "...I get an undeserved earned income credit..." is parenthetical as indicated by the commas. Anyone with an understnading of basic grammar and sentence construct knows that.

I am completely insulted that you would think I said anything else. It is embarrassingly degrading that you accuse me of suggesting that you may be taking the EITC. I think this should be brought to the attention of the moderator.

Now, that is my best imitation of you. Go suck a lemon.

I pinged your buds so you won't have to. Did you forget lewislynn?

It was still a confusing statement, even with an understanding of basic grammar.
