Households in the bottom 20% of income often pay little to no federal income taxes due to low taxable income and tax credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC). According to the Tax Policy Center, about 44% of U.S. households pay no federal income tax, largely because of these credits and deductions.

Obama put more people on Disability than WW2. We are eat up with people on The Disability in Appalachia and working cash jobs like mowing lawns, car detailing, photography and cleaning houses. You might want to ponder that for a while. How are you on The Disability because you can’t work but you are mowing lawns?

Before you rip the lungs out of poor folks and their pennies, how about voicing your disdain for:
Black Rock
Clinton Uranium
Joeys 10%
etc, etc, etc . . .

Rich folks steal more than any Crack Head could ever get their hands on.
And their Bribery/Payoffs/Campaign Donations are out in the open and LEGAL.

Add in the ehat 65% who are employed by federal tax dollars.. another group for statetax dollars. So it’s really more like 80 percent when you include every person whose job is in any way tax funded.

People who have no job and live off welfare should be counted as unemployed but they’re not. If they were, the unemployment rate would be 20% and among blacks 70%.

Earlier in our history the congress and President both knew the constitution doesn’t authorize them to give taxpayer dollars for any form of welfare payment. It came up at least two times.

According to the Tax Policy Center, about 44% of U.S. households pay no federal income tax, largely because of these credits and deductions.

So probably more accurate to say that the bottom 20% pay no taxes due to the standard deduction (and that most welfare doesn't count as income), they don't even need those credits to reduce tax to zero!
