If you believe people making $30,000 or less are not poor you must be living in China not the USA!
I lived quite nicely on a few thousand less than that. If you think someone making $30,000 is "poor" then you need help.
If a person making 25-30 K is working legally, they are paying payroll taxes, sales taxes property taxes either by owning a home or in the rent they pay. They also pay gasoline tax. The people that are getting away with not paying their share given their income are the top 10%.
If you would read into the article, you would note that I am referencing two different things. Someone making $30,000 is not poor excpet by your standards, which are ridiculous to say the least. The 10% pay more taxes than anyone, how you think they aren't paying enough is pure liberal nonsense. People who are not taxed should be since they are big contributors to the problems in our country.
Most, if not all the welfare and entitlement programs need to be eliminated.
Here is a real life example of how the Conservatives waste your tax dollars.
Funny how you don't respond to the blogs about liberals and their government waste. Don't spam my blog with a copy and paste of an article that nobody reads. Tell me again how you are a republican. LOL.
