Opponents of Obama's plan to reduce the deficit by raising taxes on the wealthy in addition to cutting spending point out that a shocking 51% of Americans pay no Federal income taxes at all. What's worse is that 99% of these deadbeats own a refrigerator! Also, 70% own a microwave and nearly 50% have air conditioning! How dare Obama propose raising taxes on our job-creating wealthiest fellow citizens when fully half of the population is riding the gravy train.
Of course that 51% of the populace hauls in only 1.5% of roughly $100 trillion National Income. In other words, 150 million Americans average $10,000 annual income, about $200 per week. Thank God for McDonalds' Dollar Value Menu.
The problem is getting convincing these deadbeats to pay taxes. A sure solution is requiring a filled-out Form 1040 as documentation before buying a refrigerator, a microwave, an air conditioner, or any of those other exotic appliances that the poor seem to like so much. You have to show ID and prove that you are not a felon before you can buy a gun. Why not have to prove you are a taxpayer before you can buy that flat screen TV?
If you don't want to pay taxes, you can just live a 19th century lifestyle. There was no Federal Income Tax then. Pay taxes and advance to the 21st century. It makes perfect sense.
