Is this "fair"?

ROB THY NEIGHBOR: HALF OF HOUSEHOLDS PAY NO FED INCOME TAX Via Drudge

Does this make for a healthy society?

Of course we also have all this:

The vast majority of people who escape federal income taxes still pay other taxes, including federal payroll taxes that fund Social Security and Medicare, and excise taxes on gasoline, aviation, alcohol and cigarettes. Many also pay state or local taxes on sales, income and property.
Taxed Enough Already?!!!!!

And they're talking about a European-style VAT, which taxes every level of economic activity, on top of all the other taxes we pay. Illinois Dems have been trying to shove this at us for years, the latest being the Gross Receipts Tax, which thankfully was blocked by citizen outrage.

This kind of taxation KILLS JOBS bigtime--especially for the young, who are already feeling the impact from the Obama economy.

More. The TrogloPundit's reaction to liberals posturing they don't pay enough in taxes: Can’t these self-made millionaires do anything for themselves?
