52 million deadbeats not paying their fair share. Primarily the base of the democrat party, I’m sure.

I’m pretty much as conservative as anybody here, and I paid no taxes in 2014-2016. But I’m not a deadbeat:

My income:
Social Security, which I paid for

Annuity, 80% of which is not taxable, since it’s my own money coming back to me

Dividend income.

Because most of the annuity is not taxable income, and because my dividend income is not very high, my Social Security is not taxable.

We are big givers, so deductions are very high. Net result is typically that deductions exceed taxable income plus exemptions. Hence, no tax.

We don’t live rich, but we just got home from eating out.

“52 million deadbeats not paying their fair share. “

Nonsense———many are retirees who paid taxes for years.
