Still waiting for someone on the US Right to explain why paying income tax is so much more painful than paying any other tax. Lower middle class, who pay little or no income tax, pay much higher percent tax than the very rich. |

" according to the graph, the percent of Americans paying income tax increased by about 10 percent in the first year of President Obama's Presidency" Opposite, nonpaying Americans increased 10%. |

"Lower middle class, who pay little or no income tax, pay much higher percent tax than the very rich." Interesting diversion from what the OP demonstrates. First thing I'd ask is for some data. Second thing I'd ask is for additional data on what % those contribute to wealth, say % of say GDP, compared to the very rich. Third thing I'd ask is why the incessant fixation on class warfare? I would but you have me on ignore. |

Yep, I misread the graph. I have edited my post to reflect such. |

Yes lets worry about a few sheckels we can get from the middle class, this way it diverts the attention on the fact that the rich pay a very low tax rate And Roomney buries his money in the Cayman islands..................but 36% of the right love him |

If I read the data provided by the U. Census Bureau, 12.5 percent of the population in 2009 was over the age of 65 (24% over 55) and about 25% were under the age of 19. That seems to account for most of the near 50% not paying any Federal Income tax in 2009. LINK LINK |
