What is not being talked about here is the 200% - 300% increase in REGRESSIVE TAXES that have quietly been shifted onto the middle class and poor over the last 4 decades... The biggest of these are state sales taxes which are being used to compensate for the loss of federal monies... They account for trillion$ every year and are bleeding the working class and poor alive...

Folks who unthinkingly say that the these folks don't pay taxes need to re-think that blanket statement and rephrase it as part of an overall discussion about who pays what...
