thank you for enlightenment.
So, let me restate. When a majority of voters have little or no federal income tax liability, we as a society are in trouble.

No, I think you are wrong. Most people - 85% or so, feel overburdened by taxes. Just because the most burdensome taxes at the lower end of the income scale are FICA and the Property Tax and State Income Tax doesn’t mean we should write such people off. There is just little motivation for them to worry about the Federal Income Tax and how the Democrats have forced it to be most burdensome to families earning between $125,000 and $500,000.
A broad based tax revolt will occur when we stop focusing on the Income Tax and its bad effects on the 5th to 15th percentile of the income scale and focus on reducing the total tax burden against the 15% or so of the population that is leaches.
