Here, approximately 48% of people get a "refund" of more than what they paid. In other words, they pay negative income tax. All the while, they complain about tax cut for the "rich", where "rich" means everyone who pays taxes. Poor people don't get huge tax cuts because they pay no taxes!

A significant percentage actually believe that "taxes" are money withheld from your check that you get back after a little while - that everybody gets their money back. One actually asked why the government doesn't make taxes a million dollars, so enshrine gets a million dollar check. Not only do they not pay taxes, some don't even teally comprehend what taxes are.
