The premise is also wrong. Out of 330,000,000 people only about 138,000,000 are considered to be taxpayers. The rest are children, disabled etc.
Out of those 138,000,000 only a little over half actually pay any income tax. The rest get all or most of what they pay in back in the form of a refund.
So we have about 70,000,000 footing the bill for the rest of us.
