"Nonpaying status used to be a sure sign of poverty," says Tax Foundation President Scott Hodge. "But thanks to increased use of the tax code to deliver social benefits, incentivize
behaviors and funnel money to targeted groups, middle-class families
have now been pulled into the growing pool of nonpayers. We're now in a
situation where a record number of tax filers are completely
disconnected from the cost of government."

This is a dangerous trend. The increase in the number of people who pay no taxes mirrors the increase in those receiving benefits from the federal government. This creates a bias toward more spending and
against keeping tax rates low, since that burden is increasingly being
borne by those at the high end of the income scale.

Unfortunately, these are the entrepreneurs, risk takers and small- business men who create most of the jobs.

When you have more people riding the wagon than pulling it, the wagon tends to break down. No amount of stimulus money extracted from those who do pay taxes will fix the wagon and get it moving again.
Balance needs to be restored. We have created too many ways to ride the wagon and not enough reasons to pull it.
