"Among the Tax-takers"
If YOU actually pay taxes, this is NOT likely to make you happy...
Earl Wright writes about it at AmericanThinker.com:
"I took a seasonal job with the Internal Revenue Service to get some household cash flow going. We 'Timmy Geithner warriors' were appalled by what we learned.
We generally knew that 47 percent of our population pays no income taxes whatsoever. However, we didn't know, and I suspect that very few of you know, how much of your tax money is actually given to non-taxpayers -- in a lump sum, to do with as they please. Over lunch we joked that half the tattoo parlors in America would go under without Uncle Sam's largesse. Only later I learned that was closer to the truth than a joke."
