No matter how you look at it...that number is too high. Hopefully it will come down to sane levels IF fuel prices can stay down and lower the costs of everything and keep the economy rolling.
Which is yet another good argument for abolishing income tax and going with a national sales tax.
Then EVERYONE will pay as they go.
"Rich" people will still pay more (to keep the big govt. lovers happy) because they buy more things and buy expensive things.

National sales tax way more regressive. Someone living pay check to pay check will get taxed on all the money they earn since they spend it all
Just cause people aren't paying federal income tax doesn't mean they still aren't paying a good deal in taxes.
