Not really. If you make less than say, 40k, you pay much less in income taxes. You know progressive income tax, sliding scale and all that.

Fair enough. But there is a reason you don't pay your cleaning lady $100,000/year. I've always found it amusing to speak of "net loss" with regard to tax revenue. Tax revenue is a net loss.

Something I had forgotten but refreshed my memory after reading a few days ago...

When Rockefeller was confirmed by Congress to be appointed VP under Ford...records showed he had not paid one dime of Federal income tax during the past eleven years.
