This is just wrong: "Nearly Half of US Households Escape Fed Income Tax":

The bottom 40 percent, on average, make a profit from the federal income tax, meaning they get more money in tax credits than they would otherwise owe in taxes. For those people, the government sends them a payment.

"We have 50 percent of people who are getting something for nothing," said Curtis Dubay, senior tax policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation.

It's no wonder so many are dependent on the government. If we have an income tax, it's important that all citizens have some skin in the game.
