Fred, you are back regurgitating right wing talking points again. First off, INCOME taxes are less than one-half of all federal revenue.

So, the wealthiest Americans are paying a much lower percent of federal taxes than you claim.

How about the 2/3 of corporations that made a profit and paid NO taxes last year?

Fred, why do you claim that lower paying households do not work? How about the rich spoiled brat that has inherited millions of dollars without paying a cent in taxes and does no work and then demands they pay no taxes and the subsequent income made on their inheritance? Why do you continue to defend those who gain wealth and do not work for it?

And I hope you realize that red (Republican) states are actually welfare states while blue (Democratic) states pay more than they receive in benefits.
