When 50 percent of the population pays no income tax or at least an inconsequential amount you have two groups of people, those who pay tax and those who do not. Check out the voting and tax history on those who vote for the Democratic Party. You will find that there is a correlation between those who pay the least tax and those who vote in line with the Democratic Party

This places the people who pay taxes at a distinct disadvantage. The Democratic Party can rightly say to those who do not pay taxes, "If you vote with the Republicans, they will cut the taxes for the rich." They never say, "If you vote for the Republicans, the people who pay 98 percent of all taxes will get to keep the money they earned."

We need to focus on two things. First, we need to articulate a message that will give the voters who pay no taxes an understanding that it is the people who pay taxes that create the jobs, not the Democratic Party and that jobs increase when taxes are lowered. Second, we need to articulate to our candidates that this is a serious issue for us.

I agree that as a citizen,resident of this country I should pay taxes to support legitimate government activity. But, I believe the tax schema must be fair. It is for this reason, I believe a VAT or sales tax in most appropriate.

I would go even farther and cut it back to tariffs only. (This is the Federal tax issue- the states can decide for themselves how to raise revenue.) The federal government should only be doing a very few things. Defense and so on. The rest of the burden should fall to the states.

Nice thoughts, but the leeches don't give two craps what you think and neither do your self serving politicians. Your input is neither needed nor asked for by either group.

What needs to be done is for everyone to quit paying them. We need to tell them to go f*** themselves. No more paying for your stupid grandmother's drugs, for your stupid father's retirement or for your stupid daughter's kids because she can't keep her legs closed.

Talking and reasoning with people who don't give a crap what you think is senseless. It's been tried and failed, time for plan B.
