I feel like there is some piece of info missing there. Sure, I come across people who live off government handouts and obviously this year both some mega-rich and some poor got government handouts, instead of earning their dough. But it seems really really unlikely that half of the US population does not pay any Federal income taxes. I would want to see a lot more numbers broken down before I would find that assertion credible.
Additionally, given that you no longer have to be a billionaire to make it into the Forbes list, it seems like a lot of the top earners loss bank this year too. So it seems the bulk of the economy is being funneled some place odd. Something is just not right.
