Look: I am eager to learn stuff I don't know--which requires actively courting and posting smart disagreement.

But as you will understand, I don't like to post things that mischaracterize and are aimed to mislead.

Follow up to Afferent Input's post.

Ten states that are the highest in income tax non-payers are highlighted in (of all things) RED.

It just gets better and better

You're a "math guy", Jazz. Please explain to me how 47% of the people don't pay federal income tax when only 45% don't pay in the number one state, and only 5 states are over 40%. Just eyeballing the figures, I would expect the number to be in the mid 30's.

Jerry -

As a math guy, that is the first thing I noticed.

But the 47% number is gospel among right wingers. I had it thrown at me a full year ago.

I don't know where it comes from.

Cheers!
