They shouldn't be called "Americans."
Citizenship should be reserved for those who pay for it!


I think he's talking about people under 16 who have no income, and
people who've retired and live on tax-free investments, Social Security,
etc. At least I hope so.

I'm not sure where he gets the 50% figure, though.
