Why not start taxing the 47% that pay no federal income tax at all?
“Why not start taxing the 47% that pay no federal income tax at all?”
Ending the Bush tax cuts likely snags at least 10% of that bunch, as they lose the much lower tax rates at the bottom end, and the children’s tax credit - and probably other stuff too.
Remember that most of that 47% still do work - they just don’t pay any taxes because of the stupid Republicans giving them a pass on it.
