Who the 53%'ers should really be mad at

So the 99% are mad at the 1%, the 53% are mad at the 47%, and 100% are just plain mad.

The majority of the people in the 47% aren't paying taxes because they simply don't earn enough money.  (Sure there are some who are doing it illegally, but most are obeying all US laws)

The 53% should really be mad at those people who are TAX EVADERS.   These are people that should be paying taxes according to US law, but are not.

According to wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_evasion

The Internal Revenue Service has identified small business and sole proprietorship employees as the largest contributors to the tax gap between what Americans owe in federal taxes and what the federal government receives. Rather than W-2 wage earners[clarification needed] and corporations, small business and sole proprietorship employees contribute to the tax gap because there are few ways for the government to know about skimming or non-reporting of income without mounting more significant investigations. When tips, side-jobs, cash receipts and batter income is not reported it is illegal cheating because no tax is paid by individuals. Similarly, those who are self-employed or run small businesses may not declare income and evade the payment of taxes.

So, the largest contributors to the tax gap are small businesses!!!?   Very interesting....read on

 
In the United States, the most recent IRS estimate of the tax gap was for 2001 at which time, the tax gap amounted to $345 billion.[25] A more recent study[26] estimates the 2008 tax gap in the range of $450-$500 billion, and unreported income to be approximately $2 trillion. Thus, 18-19 percent of total reportable income is not properly reported to the IRS. The typical tax evader in the United States is a male under the age of 50 in the highest tax bracket and with a complicated return, and the most common means of tax evasion is overstatement of charitable contributions, particularly church donations.[27]



And more detail, revealing that the typical tax evader is a male under the age of 50 in the highest tax bracket, and the most common means is overstatement of charitable contributions, like church donations!!!    Does this demographic ring a bell to you?     Here's a link to their website:  http://www.teapartypatriots.org/
