who will pay if not the middle class? don't we pay the lions' share of most taxes as it is? the poor don't. hell, i know a gal who doesn't pay a penny in federal income tax because she's single with a couple kids. but come spring, she gets a huge 'rebate' check from the govt-earned income tax credit. yeah, we pay for that. i just want to know how you can get federal tax dollars returned that you never sent in. wish i knew that trick.

OBAMA has made it pretty clear who is gunna pay more for it(the ones who can most afford to do so.) No, the middle class doesn't pay the lion's share(because they don't make the lion's share of the money.) I don't think you realize just how rich the top level is.

The top 5 percent of taxpayers pay more than one-half of all individual income taxes, and report roughly one-third of all the income in the country.The top 1 percent of taxpayers pay about one third of all individual income taxes. You don't realize just how rich they are. They have to tax them, because that's where the most money is.

funny, it's one of the dems big talking points, saving the middle class from all the taxes they pay..the middle class is far and away the biggest class, and the hardest hit. the poor get their payouts, rent assistance, fuel assitance, free day care, free insurance. all that 'free' stuff you and i pay for. hell, by the time i work my 50-60 hours a week, and tony works his time, and we pay for all that crap, and our own bills...we'd probably be better off claiming disability and living on the dole. i wouldn't have to get dressed in the morning.
