I'll just leave it at this, I find your (original and unqualified) comment that half the population don't pay income tax to be slightly misleading since everyone with W2 income is paying FICA/payroll tax which is used to pay for current gov't expenditures including medicaid payments. SS/Medicare and Income tax revenue have all been mixed in one big pot since Reagan.

Well, I didn't use the term half at all. In fact, I didn't use a quantifier. It is actually 47% which is more than I would have thought. My intent wasn't to mislead, but to point out that the situation is used to mislead by both sides of the debate, as is often the case on hot button issues in this country.
