17. Those freeloaders probably didn't pay ANY income taxes.

Though the Fletchers no doubt paid Social Security and Medicare taxes, and sales taxes, and their rent helps pay the property taxes for the apartment building they live in. Hell, when you factor in all taxes, they probably paid a higher rate than Rob Walton did. (Let's see, his $420M in dividends would be taxed at a 15% rate, with no Social Security or Medicare taxes paid on it at all. His accountants and tax lawyers must have found ways to cut it down to a Romney-like rate, around 13%.)
