    Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:

    This I completely disagree with, and we both know that you can't prove this. I find it very disheartening when I hear people express thoughts like this.

    I find it disheartening too. Along these lines, last year we kept hearing people complain about the 47% of this country who are freeloading bums who want free stuff just because they pay no federal income tax. A lot of those people are working class people who simply don't make enough money to pay federal income tax (though they still pay sales tax, state/local income tax, possibly property tax, etc.). In fact, 2/3 of those 47% have at least one job.

    I know I'm going to get thumbs-downed into oblivion for this post, but I just hate the fact that the poor have become the enemy. People want to work. Yes, there may be a very small percentage that are lazy and would rather live on welfare, but not as many as some would like you to think.

    Quoted from Finrod:

    This is a myth. There was a lot more of the Left saying the Right was complaining about the 47% than there ever was actual complaining about the 47% in the first place. It's just the Left engaging in class warfare, volume LXXVI.

    It's good to know that most people on the right don't have a problem with the folks who don't pay federal income tax. Maybe they'll nominate someone more moderate next time who shares their sensibilities.
