Just doesn't seem fair to penalize people for making money and forcing a small percent of the population to support the entire country.

wow, where do you live that people that make under $50k don't pay taxes?
most of the low income friends I have end up paying MORE than the upper class people I know....when my lower class friends end up paying 35-45% every year, the upper class end up paying 15-20% because of crafty accounting
the tax system is totally fucked, and it is not favoring the lower class ONE BIT
