noob ~ the issue is the federal personal income tax. it should have never been adopted but it was, and folks were sold the idea that it would only apply to the richest of the rich (Top 1 or 2%) ~ the claim that folks aren't paying taxes arises out of a misconstruction of what was actually found ~ the question involved ONLY the federal personal income tax! There are a gazillion other taxes in this country applied to everything including the diabetes tabs a few of us here use to see whether we should live or die today.

The fact you people can avert your eyes from the fact that we tax everything that moves, walks or talks and focus on the fact people with low or no income tax manage to not be taxed by the federal personal income tax proves this nation has gone mad!

Since its creation in 1913, the Federal Reserve (the FED) has presided over a 98% decline in the dollar’s purchasing power. ~ Ron Paul

1913 wasn’t a very good year. 1913 gave us the income tax, the 16th amendment and the IRS. ~ Ron Paul

Some of us can focus on both -- we tax everything AND the bottom 47% of this country doesn't pay their fair share when it comes to federal income tax.
