46% of Americans pay zero Federal Income Tax -- (link) - Bacon, via Droid Apr 28, 22:35 26
- EXXON, Wells Fargo, BoA are a few of them -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 29, 00:13
- But everyone (with income) pays payroll taxes. - psilotum Apr 28, 23:58 15
  - That's what always gets lost or pushed to the bottom of an article like this one. - Krusty Apr 29, 09:09 13
    - Oops...in the IM I meant payroll taxes and not income taxes. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 09:15
    - You are responding to a post that is wrong. Not everyone with income pays Federal Income Taxes. - Bacon Apr 29, 09:12 11
      - Although in most jobs you pay Social Security taxes, which are being included here. - MojaveMeg Apr 29, 09:19 1
        
        Well FICA sure. But supposedly that is only to fund Social Security although it ends up in General Funds. - Bacon Apr 29, 09:23
      - I don't end up getting all that back. I don't have a kid or a mortgage. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 09:18 8
        
        You= the 46%. Wasn't including you the person as I would have no clue about your current status. -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 09:24 5
        
        I don't know many people that get back everything they pay throughout the year. - Krusty Apr 29, 09:28 4
        
        Federal Income Tax. Stop, changing the article. - Bacon Apr 29, 09:30 3
        
        Sorry, I did get off point there. :-) - Krusty Apr 29, 09:43 2
        
        I think it makes the sytem look like a bad system, but that's just me. - Bacon Apr 29, 10:09 1
        
        It's single point analysis, which always makes things look worse than they really are. - Roger More Apr 29, 10:44
        
        Most people I know get back a percentage of what they paid throughout the year, not all of it. - Krusty Apr 29, 09:24 1
        
        Haha, and I never said that was the case. Read the article it's less about the poor and more about tax deductions. -- nm - Bacon Apr 29, 09:26
  - My bad, apparently 18% pay no income or payroll taxes. - psilotum Apr 29, 01:06
- Because they make very little money. And you want to take what little they earn away from them? -- nm - amoxy Apr 28, 23:26 2
  - OR, find ways to raise people's incomes so they raise the standard of living and contribute to the tax base. - Bacon Apr 29, 08:04
