they DO pay taxes...State City Local Medicare and Fed all comes out of their measly paychecks so
if they were paid a LIVING WAGE.... maybe they would owe more at the end of the fiscal year
but they DO ALL pay payroll taxes!!!

the top 25% of wage earners already pay 87% of the income tax in this country. What now? Are you suggesting job creators and achievers pick up the tab for all of the other taxes as well?
