That is incorrect. 43% of the citizens have no federal tax liability. That is not the same as not paying federal taxes.

BTW, schools are not built with federal tax dollars, so that's a non-argument.
Research the NCEF which is the clearing house for federal funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to be used to help states build schools

How about handouts to banks to reward them for being incompetent instead of letting them fail as they should?
Which banks have received a handout? Under TARP the banks borrowed money which needed to be paid back. I have not heard of any program where banks were given money.
