It's not income redistribution when you pay less taxes to government. You are simply keeping your own money. It IS redistribution when people who don't pay taxes get a 'tax cut'.

Wipe that self-righteous smirk off your face. What does your mortgage interest have to do with your tax payment, you didnt pay it to the government. Its a welfare payment for homeowners as is your child care credit and per child exemption.

And what makes you think that low income wage earners dont pay taxes? Ever hear of FICA, sales taxes, and those only include the visible taxes. They also pay corporate income taxes and excise taxes, and tarriffs. Low income people generally pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than middle income tax payers when you include their entire tax load.

And "rich" people don't pay more in excise(tarrifs) and corporate taxes when they by more expensive things? The excise tax on a Sony TV will much higher due to it's cost than let's say a Sanyo. I don't see to many poor people driving BMWs , so I would say the "rich" pay more in excise taxes than the poor will ever pay in their lifetimes.
