It is interesting that these figures come at the same time as a study showing that virtually HALF (ok, 47% if you want to be a stickler) of the people -shouting coming - pay NO, NADA, ZILCH income tax. If the government were't h33l bent on becoming socicommifacisto, it could get creative and have a minimum tax payment of $50 for anyone above the poverty line. I don't have handy what that revenue would amount to, but it would be an interesting calculation. And, in case you haven't noticed, this administration and Congress is quite DEAF (and dumb too).
