i think everyone should have some skin in the game. its bs when half pay no tax and a quarter get a handout from the government for just filing a return. its called the earned income tax credit and its bs. how do you get something back when you didn't pay any in?
maybe the bottom half could forego a few smokes, booze, cadillacs, fancy clothes, jewelry, hawaiian vacations, or fishing boats? i don't know what they're spending their extra dough on and i don't care but it's a stupid argument to say its either food or pay your taxes. you ever driven in a poor neighborhood and seen all the stupid junk piled everywhere?
