Where are these people to be found? ZERO Taxes??
I don't think you are referrin' to our state. I don't know anyone making $50K (80% of this country) or $30K or less who doesn't pay property tax, sales tax, fuel tax, cell phone taxes, toll roads, etc.
I really get annoyed when I hear this notion that any working person in this country doesn't contribute to their local and state govts. There isn't a day the middle class and lower class don't dig into their pockets to pay for schools, roads, and state pensions.
I wish we would have seen more tax outrage when we were in the process of doubling our national debt in the span of less than eight years. Financing
ten trillion in debt to the tune of hundreds of billion a year on wasted interest doesn't come from pork barrel spending cuts alone. Either cut entitlements or raise taxes.
Below are pallets of $100 bills. Now multiply the pic on the bottom by 5.
That's how much we spent but haven't paid for yet since 2000.
$1 Billion
$1 Trillion
