You still are ignoring the fact - I've brought it up twice, with proof - that the vast majority of people not paying taxes are deemed too poor to pay much in federal taxes.

Look at the Ryan-Romney budget. There it is, in black and white: Tax the Poor, Tax Cuts for the Rich.

You can have your own opinion, but tax rates are measurable fact.
I'll thank Obama by helping to give him a permanent vacation, starting January 20, 2013, for a job arrogantly and inadequately done.

No kidding, the same government that doesn't collect from almost 50% of the people categorizes them as too poor to pay? What a shock. How about the lucky guy in the 51st percentile who gets to work 3 jobs to pay his "fair" share? Its so fair he gets to pay for some of the 49% who don't pay.

The Ryan budget CUTS spending. That is why it will work in reining in the deficit and accumulated debt.
