I think Myrm would benefit from being told to calm down.
Are you all stupid? There is no way in hell that 95% of Americans pay income tax.

This makes it appear that, of those filing, only 67% of Americans pay taxes. The rest have zero liability. That means that they don't pay taxes. This is important, so I'll say it again. Only 67% of Americans that file tax forms have any tax liability. One third of all Americans that file tax forms don't pay taxes.
But wait, there's more... Another 15,000,000 don't file because they don't earn enough. That brings the 2004 total to 40% of all Americans that are outside the federal income tax system. 2 in 5 Americans don't pay federal income tax.
How then, can Obama promise a tax cut to 95%? Easy, he counts on your stupidity. And I see his hope is well rewarded. Meaning he can't promise a tax cut for 95% of Americans because only 60% are paying income taxes to the federal government. (emphasis added)
Okay, maybe y'all are stupid AND ignorant, but this isn't made up. Find someone that can explain it to you.
I'd say you must be incredibly naive, or incredibly ignorant to believe the government knows where money should be spent.
