45% of households own no federal taxes for 2010

Re: 45% of households own no federal taxes in 2011

I used to withhold a little too much taxes from the waiters so that they would get a refund and have a little money for a trip to the beach. There is nothing illegal I wouldn't do for our waiters.

I'm coming around on the idea of a flat tax. IF....there are no loopholes. The tax system we've got ends up being regressive because those with the means to do so simply pay high priced lawyers to fit them through each and every loophole they can.

However, neither party is about to get rid of loopholes...

The so called, "loopholes", are designed to buy votes for the Dems. Any attempt tp do away with them will be labled as a terrorist act.

So there are no loopholes that Republicans take advantage of? My partisan BS detector is going off the charts right now.

That does not mean such households end up paying no taxes whatsoever. For instance, those in the group still pay other taxes such as state and local income taxes, as well as property and sales taxes.

And the group doesn't necessarily get off scot-free when it comes to payroll taxes -- which support Social Security and Medicare.

Thank you this is SO true!

A lot of people don't realize that this group also pays for most of their own food and even take care of their kids!

bottom line-those people don't pay the taxes that support all the governmental activity funded by the income tax and the death tax. the rich also pay tons of other taxes. do you believe that the people who don't pay federal income taxes don't use services funded by federal income taxes?

as I noted previously-paying your rent bill does not erase your obligation to make your car payment

I know. Those, poor, poor abused wealthy folks. I mean it is terrible how much GE paid. It's a travesty they only took millions of our tax dollars. Or was it billions? I forget. I'm just so insentive to their suffering.
