I really don't see how you can comment on this without getting political, so all I'll say is - UNBELIEVABLE!

I don't understand how the # of people in the workforce can be substantially higher than the # of people paying income tax. Shouldn't they be about equal?

Different measures. One is taken based on the number of people who file tax returns (ie actual taxpayers vs potential tax payers) and one is based on the nonfarm labour statistics from the BUreau of Statistics. Its probably just a calculation anomoly and the fact that (I assume) people below a certain tax threshold don't have to file returns.

What scares me is that the average personal debt rivals the US debt per capita.

Do you guys borrow a lot?

People that don't make enough money to file taxes, and people paid under the table.
