Economic ignorance- it isn't pretty. People shouldn't show it the way you two do. The so-called "rich" get more relief because they pay more to start with. It's a rather simple concept. For your instruction

The top 1% of all earners pay 31.9% of all the taxes, but taxpayers with incomes below $30,000 filed nearly 44% of all returns but paid just 1.4% of all federal income tax – in fact, two-thirds of the nearly 66 million returns filed by people in that lowest income tier owed no tax at all.

Well, duh. I'm not questioning the math, I'm questioning the need for someone making a million dollars a year to get another $1650 credit on their taxes to help pay the cost of raising a child. You honestly don't see anything wrong with that? Really?

So why don't the feds pass a flat tax with no deductions on all forms of income? Then everyone would have some skin in the game.

The middle class is being destroyed as the upper tier garner obscene income. Maybe they should pay 100% of federal taxes until the middle class is restored.

The middle class pays the highest portion of their income in comparison. In other words, our real, spendable income in more greatly reduced than the one percent. The one percent is simply a red herring statistic. Ridiculous attempt at justifying the continued overtaxation of the middle class by saying hey.. we are worth 50 million and we feel your pain.
It’s a perpetual lie. While I have to choose between a surgery so I can keep working and replacing my 17 year old car, so I can keep working.. what is the guy worth 50 Mil choosing between?
Flat tax for all.

Im not sure how you derived your accusation. I said nothing about “the rich”. I was referring to government swamp creatures. And, here you are defending them.
