45% of self-identified tea partiers make less than $50,000 per year according to a USA/Gallup poll. Similarly 50% of the entire populationmakes less than $50,000 a year. It seems safe to assume that if about half the country avoids income taxes a similar percentage of the tea party people get away with the same even as they march and scream about their tax burden. Tea partiers want lower income taxes but many of them pay none now.So I guess according to the original thread by Donna many tea partiers should not vote unless of course they are all honorable and there are no slackers among them.
