[QUOTE="Jones, post: 786496, member: 4805"] The main problem is that the government is spending more than it takes in. Sure there are people who are scamming the system and making a lot of money under the table, but the majority of people who "don't pay any taxes" (which is a misnomer, everybody pays sales taxes) are poor, and they are also the least likely to vote and therefore have very little influence on our political system. Blaming poor people for our economic troubles may be convenient, but it's a red herring at best. The outcomes of our elections are decided by people who choose to participate in the system because they feel invested in it, and most of those people [I]do[/I] pay taxes. [/QUOTE]
