Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesSen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) wants everyone to know that he is not “woke” ― as if anyone would have thought he was. Advertisement“Americans in flyover country have had absolutely enough of this woke elitist nonsense.”“The woke left wants all of that gone. Currently over half of Americans pay no income tax.”Everyone who works a payroll job pays federal taxes, but the lowest-income Americans typically don’t owe income taxes. And millions receive payments from the IRS thanks to refundable tax credits like the earned income tax credit or the child tax credit. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has distanced himself from Scott’s plan and dismissed it as irrelevant.
