First, those that are renters are paying property taxes, it's just included in the cost of their rent. I concur that those are local taxes.
Second, the federal governement actually is very successful at nickel and diming us out of our money in addition to income and payroll taxes. Have you seen the taxes on a gallon of gas or carefully read your phone bill? So the working poor actually are paying federal taxes. As the table in post #13 states, the lowest quintile pays 4.2% of their income to the federal governement and the second quintile pays 14.2%.

THEY AREN'T PAYING ANY FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. When you add up my share, I'm well over the 50% in all those, so enough is enough.

True enough. So instead of a rebate on taxes they didn't pay, cut the rates for EVERYONE on gas and phone bills.
