26. I think that it should also be noted all the other taxes that are paid.

People in the lower income brackets pay a significant portion of their earning in numerous taxes. Including real estate taxes, even if a person rents they actually pay the tax, gasoline taxes, telephone taxes, and sales taxes. The last can be be very significant since they range as high as 8% in some areas. Add to this the numerous fees, such as for license plates, garbage collection, sewer fees, etc. It is a wonder that those making a minimum wage have anything left to even buy food. I think that it should also be pointed out that many in the military who are so gung ho in their support of the so-called conservatives fall into the category of dead beats Romney despises.
