Research finds that as a group, only men pay tax

Article here. Excerpt:

'With the exception of the age group between 45-59 (a 15 year span) years old, women cost more to the state than the tax they provide. In contrast, men generate more tax revenue than they cost between 23 and 65 (a 43 year span). In the brief period in which women generate more or as much tax money than they consume, men outscore them by at least 3 times.

By the end of her life, the average woman will have a negative fiscal impact of $150,000.

By large, the cumulative tax money given to women outweighs the tax money generated by women. The short period of positive impact of women between 45 and 59 is countered by 65 other years in which their allocated tax expenditure is more than what they supply the state.'

Obviously, women pay taxes too. This is less a complaint abt a failure of women to pay taxes but more an observation that women consume more in tax dollars than do men, as a group, such that it exceeds their contribution to the tax base. That is different from saying women pay no taxes. So the headline doesn't seem right to me but I see his point.
