Default I know why the angry dog yaps




This news story is very distressing. Turns out nearly half of American
households pay NO INCOME TAX!

47% will pay no federal income tax

In 2009, roughly 47% of households, or 71 million,
will not owe any federal income tax, according to
estimates by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.

Some in that group will even get additional money
from the government because they qualify for
refundable tax breaks.

That means the hardworking, overtaxed 53% are paying for EVERYTHING the
federal government does. Those low-income freeloaders who traded in their
clunkers last month are driving new cars thanks to the middle-class cubicle
plants who take home the real salaries. Ditchdiggers, toilet-cleaners, and
lawn crews are all getting a free ride at the expense of the overtaxed
white-collar not-ruling class.

It's outrageous. Somebody should yap about this gross injustice.
