Quote from Lucrum:
Then why are so many wage earners not paying any income tax?
Quote from Mercor:
The tax breaks of George W. Bush went even further to help low income people. The lowest tax rate was dropped even lower.
The Republicans are the only party to lower taxes for the poor.
Bush saved the poor over 2.3 trillions dollars in tax dollars over ten years. Double what he saved the the wealthy.
Quote from Mercor:
You make my point.....Democrats never, ever, want to lower taxes for the anyone ,even the poor....

REAGAN'S TAX REVOLUTION: A BIG BOOST FOR FAMILIES AND THE POOR
INTRODUCTION
Ronald Reagan's tax reform plan offers major gains for the working poor. It does so as part of a comprehensive effort to lighten the tax burden on families, correcting in part the anti-family bias of the current tax code.IThe Reagan plan seeks specifically to raise the zero-bracket amount and personal exemptions and to expand the earned income tax credit, thereby improving the lot of the poor and of families. If enacted, the Reagan proposal would ensure that families with income at or below the poverty level no longer paid any federal income tax.

Quote from Lucrum:
We already covered/agreed it was Reagan. But he's long gone and not a single POTUS or congress has changed it so they're obviously on board and OK with it.
The question was, what kind of "society" is it where only 1/2 are paying their fair share?
