Taxes are paid by individuals and companies. Sticking with the TAXES focus, the general accepted is that 53% pay while 47% don't.


Which taxes are you talking about? SS , Medicare , or fed income?

As I said cutting SS tax I agree is a bad Idea but SS has not added to the Debt yet but may if they continue cutting it.
Medicare is a burden at this time due to part D and would be solvent without adding anymore to the debt even if the taxes stayed where they are if not for D. Blame the party of your choice for this.

Since earlier you said that it is not about income tax then what is it that makes up the 47% that dont pay. Because I dont know 1 person that does not pay taxes in some way even if it is fuel tax or sales tax we all pay. Even a child that does not earn the money but has mom and dad hand it to them pays taxes on candy at the counter.

Keep in mind, these payments from the government do not generate tax income into the general treasury.


Some income the gov did have was the post office. But in 06 congress put a stop to that for political purpose. That purpose was not to look out for the retirees either. Again Blame the party of your choice for this as well.
