Only if they can come close to answering this question correctly..

What percentage of the total income tax do the bottom 50% of American households pay?

vote steinmeier!
no wait, wrong vote... nvm.
BUT STILL THE SAME: VOTING IS IMPORTANT!

* Pretty sure the stat you are referring to is _federal_ income tax. Not all states collect income tax.

OH, AND IF YOU LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS, VOTE NO ON QUESTION 1



I'll cut you if you don't

probably not but we need that money for public schools and public services, so don't be selfish

CS.........does 2.9% sound right?

That's right boys and girls, the bottom 50% of the USA pay 2.9% of federal income tax. Let's give them a bigger tax cut, they obviously need a break.

And JDizzle is right. Whether you support Obama, McCain, or some other schmuck............EVERYONE should register and vote. It's what this country was founded on and the only voice we have within our political system.

Should these guys vote?

yes they should, because stupid people are part of this society. they constantly remind us how much improvement our educational system needs.

Bump, and I just had a forum at my college about voter "fraud" and such. Turns out a more understandable problem is with trying to prevent people from voting...

You mean vote "Yes" on Question 1 in Massachusetts. End the state income tax!

"Why will Massachusetts voters vote YES – and END the income tax? What are the benefits to them?

1. Our Ballot Initiative will give back over $3,700 each to 3,400,000 Massachusetts workers and taxpayers. $3,700 average. Each worker. Not just once. Every year.

2. It will take $12.6 Billion out of the hands of Massachusetts Big Government – and put it back into the hands of the men and women who earned it. Not just once. Every year.

3. In productive, private hands this $12.6 Billion a year will create hundreds of thousands of new jobs in Massachusetts.

4. This will force the state legislature to streamline and cut the waste out of the Massachusetts state spending.

5. This will force the state legislature to get rid of the failed, flawed government programs that don't work – and often make things worse.

6. It'll make the state legislature accountable to Massachusetts workers and taxpayers – instead of the government employees, lobbyists, and special interests who profit from high government spending.

7. With less government and no income tax, Massachusetts will become a magnet to private, productive businesses and individuals. More good jobs and more good workers.

8. And with 3,400,000 Massachusetts taxpayers getting back an average of $3,700 each in their take home paychecks, this just might radically reduce home foreclosures. "

Not sure on Question 1 - but it seems like there are a lot of MA kdicers.

I say yes on Q1 so they can double the tolls on the mass pike woot!
