In 2009, roughly 47% of households, or 71 million, will not owe any federal income tax, according to estimates by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.
Some in that group will even get additional money from the government because they qualify for refundable tax breaks.
The ranks of those whose major federal tax burdens net out at zero -- or less -- is on the rise.

This explains the economy going to the crapper... 47% of households are relying on the government to provide for them because they are too G!& D@$^ lazy to do anything for themselves.
It means 53% of us are supporting the other 47%. No wonder my taxes are too high, I have to pay my share and someone else's share too.
