The higher earners use more of the system and its resources to gain income.
But John Doe eats his oatmeal and walks to work but pays a higher percentage in taxes compared to higher earners with all their exemptions.
This is not fair.

I'm guessing that you haven't done much research into who pays taxes and who doesn't if you are making statements like this. Since the Bush tax cuts were implemented, the high income earners are paying a larger share of overall taxes than ever before. John Doe either pays no income taxes at all, or he pays a lower percentage of his taxes after the Bush tax cuts than he did before, and he is carrying a lower percentage share of the overall tax burden than he did before. As for exemptions and deductions, those are phased out for higher income earners. Can you cite a single specific provision in the tax code to support your regurgitation of the marxist democrat class warfare talking points?
