Lets do some back of the envelope calculations: - US taxes paid in 2013: $5.4 trillion [1] - Number of tax returns filed in 2013: 134,349,000 [2] This works out to $N per tax return. N = (5.4 x 1000000000000) / 134,349,000 N = $40,193 Sooo, if your tax return had you paying less than $40K in taxes you may be a "freeloader" since you are not paying your share. ;-) [1] http://www.usgovernmentrevenue.com/total_2013USrt_15rs1n http://www.usgovernmentrevenue.com/total_2013USrt_15rs1n [2] http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/Filing-Season-Statistics-May-10,-2013 http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/Filing-Season-Statistics-May...
