Ok Terry, those who pay taxes......most people pay taxes of some sort, be it sales tax, income tax or even property tax. What type of tax were you referring to?
I dunno about you, but when I was approaching 18 years of age, I was looking forward to being able to vote, and have only missed one election since then. That was 40 years ago. I try to take my voting right very serious. I do not vote straight ticket. I vote for who I feel is best qualified. Do I make mistakes, sure, but do the best I can with what I get.
No rub intended, Tuck. But, I'm talking about income taxes. It's my understanding that about 50% of the people pay zero income tax. That's just plain wrong. These are the people who have no skin in the game.
