Sadly, I was not one of the 52 million.
Lucky for me I am one of them. Kind of makes up for the over 40 years I did pay taxes.
However, what is worse than not paying taxes is getting taxpayer money, from the article: “2014 was a negative $12,003,000,000” That’s $12 Billion in wealth distribution.
Me neither, but I was for most of my life. Despite making it to the top 10%, I’ve rarely paid any federal income tax, and I’m totally fine with that. At one point, my W4 listed 42 exemptions by the standard formula.
Of course the truly rich pay no income tax, as they have no earned income, but most of the country is too educated to figure that out...
