Reckon unemployment and stagnant wages with less buying power now than in 2001 account for any of the 'scumbags' not paying taxes?
FYI only 2% of Americans receive welfare, which is time limited. Care to know the Top 10 states where the largest % per capita of welfare 'scumbags' live? OK.
The Top 10 from the U.S. Census Bureau:
Rank/State/Percentage living below the poverty level:
01-Mississippi 20.6
02-Louisiana 18.6
03-New Mexico 18.1
04-Arkansas 17.9
05-Kentucky 17.3
06-Alabama 17.4
07-West Virginia 16.9
08-Texas 16.3
09-Oklahoma 15.9
10-Tennessee 15.9
You may consider aiming your angst at the correct folks based on factual statistics.
The list of the top 10 states that receive more money from the Federal Govt. than they pay in are all red states too except one. Wyoming, Alaska, Louisiana are 1-2-3.
Highest per capita income (highest Fed Taxes paid per capita too) according to the U.S. Census Bureau? All blue but Wyoming, which is 6th.
The list of states with the most college degrees (who earn higher wages) is all blue, with one swing state, VA, on the list at #7 thanks to Northern Virginia (near D.C.)
Those are the facts which you can check for yourself at:

Now you have the facts. Have a good day.
