How's That Obama Recovery Feeling?

No, that is pretty disjointed, work does not equal taxes under the current system. If you have a lot of money and legally don't pay taxes, you are savvy. If you don't have a lot of money and legally don't pay taxes, you are savvy. If you have a lot of money and don't work (assuming not retired), you are lazy. If you don't have a lot of money and don't work, you are lazy.

Just to be clear, you are talking about income tax correct? Because every person in the country pays consumption taxes at some point, food, gas, personal property, etc.

And those consumption taxes make up a much larger percentage of income for the poor than the rich.

Come on PH, we all know that people who are making an income low enough that it allows them not to pay income taxes are living high on the hog.
