I think you got it wrong: Narg Send a noteboard - 19/09/2012 01:52:30 AM
A huge chunk of the population gets ALL of their paid taxes back in their refund. That is paying no income tax.
A little learning is a dangerous thing.

I think the reasoning is that since they go to entitlement programs, it's not entirely a tax. Tom - 18/09/2012 10:55:12 PM 593 Views
