| Yeah, no shit. |
The so-called Teabaggers have made a name for themselves by complaining about, among other things, high taxes (even though our tax rates are the lowest they've been in over 50 years).
Their latest whine is about how 46% of American households do not pay taxes, and they're twisting the statistic to prevent the increase of taxes for those who make more that $250,000. While that statistic is (sort of) true, I find it amusingly ironic that this anti-tax group is complaining about a segment of the population that isn't paying taxes.
Oh, and just so they know, that 46% is a correct statistic, however, that is because nearly 80% of those households not only make less than $30,000.00 a year, but those same households usually qualify for tax breaks such as college tuition, earned income credits, and child care.
