@BenHargroveNY@Morning_Joe The problem transcends who does and doesn't pay federal taxes. It's a "Life of Julia" worldview. -
@mattklewis understand. But 47% is a misleading stat premised on semantic distinction btwn income and payroll taxes, and lumps in retirees -
@BenHargroveNY The discussion you and I are having on Twitter is better than the one on TV. That should tell us something. -
@mattklewis tells us that media is shallow, mediocre, devoted to false equivalence, lacks policy substance. But we knew that already
