Say it ain't so.

Somewhere I read that (don't quote me on the exact ratio, but I'm close) 50% of working people are paying for the other 50% of people either unable to find a job or unwilling to work.

I'm not sure where you heard that (or what they truly wanted you to believe), but that statement is readily attributed to the fact that roughly 50% of people don't pay any federal income taxes. Nevermind the fact that many of them are senior citizens living on social security, and nevermind the fact that it includes disabled veterans, and nevermind the fact that many of them do in fact work, but they just don't make enough money to cross the income threshold requiring them to pay, and nevermind the fact that pretty much everyone pays some sort of taxes of some sort. No, it's easier just to belittle 50% of the American people to make sure we get the 1 or 2% who might actually abuse the system.

It is funny that the same people who whine about the idea of increasing the minimum wage are the same people who whine about that 50% figure (see item 3 above).

[OSD will hate me for hijacking his hijackproof thread.]

Actually, most people who don't pay Federal Income Tax earn wages and have to pay Payroll Taxes (Social Security and Medicare Taxes). They also pay local sales taxes.
