Whatever happens, the next 4 years are going to be very interesting.
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

this is a trap. At some point these people will need to be taxed. Will riots ensue?

They might try Greek-style riots in blue cities in liberal states.  They try that shit around here and someone is likely to shoot their sorry asses.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

The stats listed aren't the worst of it. EIC. A return of income tax on income tax you never paid, or a refund in excess of the amount of the tax you paid in. It's an outright transfer of wealth.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

And the voters will elect the politician (read D)who promises to keep the cash cow coming. Pandering with taxpayers money.

Now couple that fact - that 49.5% of Americans don't pay taxes - with the concurrent fact that the median income in the United States is some $53,000 dollars or so.  So you can make damned near $50,000 or so and still not pay into the federal tax system (excluding FICA and Medicare, etc.)

Sickening isn't it?

I would have to agree.
