That's what always gets lost or pushed to the bottom of an article like this one.

I don't pay taxes according to this article because all I pay are income taxes and sales taxes.

People need to stop writing articles like this when they're wrong and hiding the true numbers.

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
