Yes. Thus I find it strange that the Republican party, GOP-TV (Faux News), Heritage Foundation, etc. has been actively demonizing that 47%, those nearly all with incomes below $33,000 or so, and demanding they pay more federal income tax. While those very same people demand the wealthiest "job creators" get more tax cuts, they fight against closing tax loopholes the wealthiest use to lower their effective tax rates, and they demand decreases in capital gains taxes.

Those evil poor people! Holding back the wealthy job creators of this great country!

Makes no sense. Can't wait for the GOP debate tonight to see some of them try and justify that position.
