What about those who pay no income tax, but wind up getting a huge refund. I think they should be added as well. Then what would the numbers be?

An astonishing 43.4 percent of Americans now pay zero or negative federal income taxes. The number of single or jointly-filing “taxpayers” - the word must be applied sparingly - who pay no taxes or receive government handouts has reached 65.6 million, out of a total of 151 million.
