What strikes me as most odd is the fact that conservative'ŝ constantly point out that 50% of people pay no taxes at all. They use this figure to illustrate a demand for raising taxes on these people. I never heard a conservative ask the question: Why are there such large income disparities within our society? And how can we fix them? The answer would not be raising the taxes on the poorest, but to lift them out of poverty. However, most people know damn well that this would not work without some major adjustments to the way we do business.
