Why Doesn't He Pay Taxes?

When's the last time you heard somebody complain about the fact that nearly half of all Americans pay no taxes? Well it's a fact that nearly half of Americans pay no Federal Income Taxes. It's a lie that they pay no taxes. They pay payroll taxes if the work,. they pay sales taxes, excise taxes on gas and electric and heating. But that's not what folks complain about. They complain that half of Americans pay no Federal Income Tax. How come? Why is it that these folks don't pay any taxes? Ya know why? Because they don't earn enough to pay taxes. They don't earn enough to get out of poverty. So if you're mad about these folks not paying their fair share, you should be mad that they don't earn a living wage. They don't earn their fair share. How come? Because job creators earning millions per year don't pay many of their employees enough to live on, to put food on the table and pay taxes too. Now any multi-millionaire will tell you that if they paid their workers enough to qualify to pay taxes, then the job creators wouldn't be able to make multi-millions per year, or if they still did, then they couldn't compete. It comes down to a choice between the Job Fillers or the Job Creators. Since all these people still aren't paying taxes, you'd have to conclude that the Job Creators won the day. So if the Job Creators are unwilling to pay the Job Fillers a living wage, isn't that class warfare? I mean it seems to me that a Job Filler should be allowed the dignity to live their lives without wondering how they will pay for their next meal. And if that means that the Job Creators will only make nine tenths of a million per year, then so be it.
