1. planetmoney: The 47 Percent, In One Graphic A full 30% of the population who don’t pay Federal income tax are either very poor or are working poor. But they they DO pay other taxes like sales tax and payroll tax (if you’re working poor). And every time another GOP prick stands up and talks about the people in this country that don’t pay taxes, you know that they want to inject the word “freeloader” into the discussion but can’t because they would be roundly criticized for it (and rightly so). But you know the subtext is there.
