Oh yay, another conspiracy theory! I was hoping we'd get another one of those!

And thanks, classicman. I disagree that the threshold needs to be so high on reinstating prior tax rates, but at this point it's a moot talking point anyway.

As for those making $10,000, they pay plenty of taxes, just not necessarily federal income taxes. They still pay sales tax, gas tax, Social Security tax, State income tax, and even property tax (even if they're renting, as their rent covers the owner's property tax liability).
