Hey Biker 1492 I really want to thank you for proving my point that every poor working person in America pays Federal income taxes.

I know you thought you were being smart and that your answer was really smart, but it was typical Republican horse pucky and really proved the point of my article in the first place which was that if you make over $3.76 and hour you pay taxes in America just like the rich and the super rich.

Maybe not as much individually as the rich but when you consider the millions of working poor it is a lot of money.

and who do you think should pay for these roads and railroads you are talking about? Oh, I forgot we can just print more money so our country can go bankrupt someday.
