If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

They do. They pay a much lower proportion of their earnings in federal taxes than is typical,

I'm talking about the total percentage of federal income tax paid. The top 10% pay a very disproportionate amount.

FICA taxes are paid via wage deductions; technically if someone never has wages they never pay, yes.
