I love data... it dismisses myths, it puts you on the right path, it eliminates emotional decisions and gives you optimal decisions. There are a lot of reports in the media today saying that half of Americans dont pay taxes. As you can see on the chart, in fact, most American's indeed do (82%).
Now if the media said that half of Americans dont pay INCOME taxes they would be right. But when payroll taxes cover Social Security and Medicare, which are two or our biggest budget items, thats a big deal.
In anything, its good to know the detailed facts.. then you can have good discourse in your organization (or in Congress) and make optimal decisions.
