Quite correct:
The question of how many people pay federal income taxes became a heated topic toward the end of the 2012 presidential campaign after Republican nominee Mitt Romney was videotaped telling supporters that 47 percent of Americans paid no federal income taxes. Romney was correct. Roughly 53 to 54 percent of Americans pay federal income tax annually. The other 46 to 47 percent for a variety of reasons, owe no federal income tax.
