Most people have ZERO right to bitch about taxes
So when I hear all these teabaggers say how THEIR tax $$ are being watsed, fuck them. They GET money form the government. Fucking idiots.
WASHINGTON ? Tax Day is a dreaded deadline for millions, but for nearly half of U.S. households it's simply somebody else's problem.
About 47 percent will pay no federal income taxes at all for 2009. Either their incomes were too low, or they qualified for enough credits, deductions and exemptions to eliminate their liability. That's according to projections by the Tax Policy Center, a Washington research organization.
In recent years, credits for low- and middle-income families have grown so much that a family of four making as much as $50,000 will owe no federal income tax for 2009, as long as there are two children younger than 17, according to a separate analysis by the consulting firm Deloitte Tax.
The result is a tax system that exempts almost half the country from paying for programs that benefit everyone, including national defense, public safety, infrastructure and education. It is a system in which the top 10 percent of earners ? households making an average of $366,400 in 2006 ? paid about 73 percent of the income taxes collected by the federal government.
