Payroll taxes are just that - payroll taxes!

Income taxes are not payroll taxes

Payrolls taxes are a tax based on (some of) your income. So they are a type of income tax in the broad sense.
Yes, technically payroll taxes are not income taxes.

And people who that x number of people do not pay income tax are implying they are paying no federal taxes when that is not true. It is a disingenuous argument.
