I saw this article this morning and thought I'd pass it on.
Why more Americans pay no income tax - CNN.com
The last paragraph is my favorite:
"The real issue is that millions of Americans no longer have any skin in the game and are becoming inoculated from the basic cost of government. To them, government seems free and politicians can easily convince them to support more and more spending because someone else is going to pay the tab. This trend deserves a broader national discussion than either party in Washington seems willing to engage in."
