Riverguy.....as far as I know.....I read the stats and could probably find them again......but then so could you. The figure wasn't exactly 50%, but damn close to it, who don't pay taxes. As in zero....zero. I suspect (without knowing) that that leaves most of the corporations out, as I'm reasonably certain that they pay some....perhaps not enough, but I doubt it is zero.
Somebody needs to hammer it into some thick skulls that a flat tax is a bad deal. Simple.....yes.....and very bad for low and middle income. If you take the amount paid presently by the rich and redistribute it, the lower classes portion will increase.....DRAMATICALLY!

I agree that this country needs to cut spending....I have a rough time believing that anyone thinks it is OK to spend more than you bring in......let alone continue doing it. Raising the debt ceiling...fk sake. Just keep those Obama bucks flowin', right?
