I'm not sure where you heard that (or what they truly wanted you to believe), but that statement is readily attributed to the fact that roughly 50% of people don't pay any federal income taxes. Nevermind the fact that many of them are senior citizens living on social security, and nevermind the fact that it includes disabled veterans, and nevermind the fact that many of them do in fact work, but they just don't make enough money to cross the income threshold requiring them to pay, and nevermind the fact that pretty much everyone pays some sort of taxes of some sort. No, it's easier just to belittle 50% of the American people to make sure we get the 1 or 2% who might actually abuse the system.Obviously, Doove, I’m not as well versed in the political and social arena as you are. But, please, don’t suggest that I’m belittling anyone.
It is funny that the same people who whine about the idea of increasing the minimum wage are the same people who whine about that 50% figure (see item 3 above). Originally Posted by Doove

As I wrote the above post in this thread; I considered how, in this world, there are no absolutes. It’s not conservatism vs. liberalism as a dichotomy. Therefore, this survey is flawed and would yield no results of any significance. Originally Posted by The Drummer
