It should read: “ The half of the population who don’t pay taxes, and sponges off of the government” side with obama.

If you're going to do that "half the population" thing again and again DO IT RIGHT. The real problem is we have 48% of the population paying federal income taxes who shouldn't be paying them.

It's not a problem that 50% aren't paying them.

The original design was for 2% at the top to pay, and for 98% to NOT PAY THEM.

This applies only to FEDERAL INCOME TAXES which simply do not include ALL TAXES.

The 16th amendment has failed. Time to repeal it and try something else.
