that notion may also be approaching quaint as we are nearly at the point
where 50% of Americans pay no income tax.

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.

Perhaps he was including undocumented aliens who receive cash for their
labors and declare nothing. g
