47% of households pay no income tax

47% of households will pay no income tax this year. Actually, that's kind of misleading:

When considering federal income taxes in combination with payroll taxes, the percent of households with a net liability of zero or less is estimated to be 24% this year, according to the Tax Policy Center's estimates.

Uh. Yeah. We're solidly in the other 53% of households.
