Low income people who rally and complain due to the Media Propaganda or the more educated few who are bound by the true facts?</span>

According to statistics compiled from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by the Tax Foundation, those people making above $50,000 had an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent, and carried 93.3 percent of the total tax burden.

In contrast, Americans making less than $50,000 had an effective tax rate of 3.5 percent and their total share of the tax burden was just 6.7 percent.

Americans making more than $250,000 had an effective tax rate of 23.4 percent and their total share of the tax burden was 45.7 percent.

Out of the 143 million tax returns that were filed with the IRS in 2010, 58 million – or 41 percent – of those filers were non-payers.

In other words, only 85 million actually paid taxes.

But Tax Foundation data also shows that people who didn't pay any income tax received $105 billion in refundable tax credits from the IRS.</span>
 
Part of the welfare state, through earned income credit etc. This stuff has been around quite a while, it is now in the news Get a copy of the 1040 instructions, and look at the breaks. Most of us don't get the breaks. Liveliner was only referring to federal ,try adding in state taxes , especially when you live in one, and work in another, plus the specter of city income tax.
