Thousands of wealthy earners manage to zero out tax bills

More than 35,000 people who had income of more than $200,000 in 2009 paid no federal income taxes that year, according to a new report from the Internal Revenue Service.

Good for them.

I've always admired earners who can reduce their taxes. It's their money not mine or yours.

 

thats a rather retarded view. somebody has to pay the bills. if some escape with nothing the rest of us have to pay more.

 

2009 huh? Wasn't Obama POTUS that year, or is this Bush's fault as well?

 

Who said anything about fault..

 

But who will pay for our permawars and free security services we offer the world?

That aint free someone has to pay for it.

 

Elimination of our current tax scam and replacement by a consumption tax with no deductions forces everyone to contribute.
How come some U.S. slaves have to pay for everything?

 

and those at the low end contribute the greatest share of their income. therein lies the problem.

 

Too bad...So sad.

 

I'm fine with that.

btw, how much more. a dime?
