Apparently everyone with a job that pays taxes. 52% of the country voted for him, I figure thats everyone who lives on a government check. The 48% that have a job and produce are screwed....red
Not everyone voted. We can’t say that 52% support him. I think more do not support him than do.
That's why the whole mortgage issue is SO important to the powermongers right now: so long as you have a 6-digit debt hanging over your head, you MUST work enough to pay LOTS of taxes. (Having a big car payment, and school loans, is similarly important - hence federal interest in those as well.) Thing is, once you've actually paid for your house, car, and schooling, there really isn't that much outright need for a middle-class income - and thus no need to pay massive amounts of taxes. Once it's all paid off, you are then free to either (A) drop expenses to minimal sustinence needs (comfortable class of food, travel, etc.) which are so low as to be nearly untaxed, or (B) take significant financial risks (start a business, invest heavily, etc.) with payoff either so low (practical failure) to be nearly untaxed or so high (success exceeding the Leftist definition of "rich") that significant tax-reduction options become available. But so long as you MUST pay your mortgage bill (and car & school bills) every month, you are locked in to an economic class which practically maximizes your tax liability indefinitely.
