Why Half of Americans Don't Pay Income Tax New York Times Mitt Romney is right that about half of American households don't pay federal income tax -- that's how the tax burden has been designed, including provisions championed by Republicans.
Mother Jones has published a video of Mitt Romney at a private fund-raiser making incendiary remarks about Obama voters - and, well, about half of the electorate. "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what," Mr. Romney said. "There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it, that that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what." "These are people who pay no income tax," he added.
