In response to:
Taxes need to go up on everyone, so the 47% that don't buy into the system can actually understand how it feels when you taxes go up, instead of shrugging because it doesn't effect them personally.
Let’s cut right to the end of the story: Ordinary people have already tumbled off the precipice.
There will be no dramatic rescue at the height of the tension, with crashing, ominous music turning to a sunshine ditty, a government handout straining to reach you, to save you from tumbling over the lip of the cliff.
Instead the government is going to intentionally bump into you, making it look like an accident, head turned away, mumbling an apology, much like a pick-pocket does in a crowd, with the object to lift your wallet.
So, yes; however much they...

Yes, I thought so. You don't like reading links. Or you think the numbers have been altered by some nasty Liberal.
Facts are such Liberal things.
Please feel free to reconcile those two statements. But more to the point, you don't know who is not paying. Who paid payroll taxes? What percentage is elderly? Note the graph showing earnings -- you want to lower taxes AND have more people pay (your gripe is all about the number not paying, right?)
We all can see your idiocy...they and you maybe right.
