Very depressing, especially considering that the new law will only make it worse. And I'm afraid to ask how much of the $100B+ in giveaways is going to illegals...

Just the way the Democrats and most Republicans want it—yet we wonder why our debt is through the roof.

(Also note that this doesn't count the people due refunds that don't file every year, so the number of nonpaying is probably higher.)
