The Tired Donkey Urges You: Get Married and Move Away from Mississippi

In a blog post several years ago, the president of the Tax Foundation, Scott A. Hodge, provided us with a wealth of information regarding “non-payers.” In case this term confuses any of the Tired Donkey’s readers, “non-payers” is a word that non-partisan, non-profit organizations use to refer to Freeloaders. Among the many facts in the article are the following (which do not take into account the 15 million households and individuals who file no tax returns at all):
--65.7% of all head-of-household filers are Freeloaders;
--33.1% of all single filers are Freeloaders (and they make up 42.2% of all filers);
--21.5% and 21.6% respectively of married-filing-jointly and married-filing-separately filers are Freeloaders.
--43% of all filers from Mississippi are Freeloaders.
These facts, the Tired Donkey submits, speak for themselves. Please: get married and move away from Mississippi.
