I haven't seen any of the bottom 50% creating jobs. Jobs are those things that generate income and drive the economy.

It doesn't matter how much of the total taxes that they pay. They can afford it and it doesn't effect them, because they still have billions or millions of dollars. They should pay the same percentage of their income that everyone else pays. That's only fair. We need a flat tax rate. Everyone pays the same percentage of their income. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander.

How about the people that pay 0 dollars? Should they have to start paying (meaning, not getting a return)

What about the people that not only pay nothing but get a surplus FROM taxes.... just because they made bad life choices and had kids out of wedlock and can't earn enough at McD's to support the kids they aren't even mature enough to actually raise right....?

So sick how easily people want to take other peoples money... to support people who have no or had no desire to do the right things to set themselves up in life.
Welfare is forced upon not only the wealthy but the middle class, disguised as charity to grow a population of people who need the government more than they need dignity.
