Hassert: You Don't Pay Taxes

Hey, if you earn $40,000, did you know you don't pay taxes? Kool.
What an idiot. It's amazing to us that these guys still haven't figured out that we're listening. "We" meaning the blogosphere. This courtesy of Think Progress: During a late session last night, Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) made a stunning claim on the House floor:
Well, folks, if you earn $40,000 a year and have a family of two children, you don’t pay any taxes. So you probably, if you don’t pay any taxes, you are not going to get a very big tax cut.
