Subject: For example, 51% of eligible tax payers in the US pay ZERO income taxes.

Not true.. It could be said that 51% get more in benefits or tax credits than they pay in taxes, but not that 51% don't pay taxes, as the latter if FALSE and a blatant cherry pick to warm the hearts of the conservative American.

(V): No, it is true. It's being said by tax experts and can be verified via the IRS stats. And I said INCOME taxes, not taxes. There's a difference.

Artful Dodger: Explain it then. No sound bites.. as I looked up income tax and the amounts and benefits and saw those you say don't pay taxes were paying income tax, yet getting tax credits, etc back.

.... you'd know a tax expert how?

And we are having more problems with youth riots at the moment. Riot and looting season is in full swing.

(V): The only point I'm making is that it's a FACT that there are a lot of people that pay no Federal income taxes.
