Seeing as how the poor don't pay any income tax already, anything paid would constitute a major shift, I suppose. I would suggest lowering the tax burden on the "rich" by a drop in the marginal rates. I would lower the burden on the "poor" (and rich) by privatizing Social Security. Of course, this would require a simultaneous and massive spending cut.
Government spending is on the rise. If you want to give tax cuts or even eliminate them on one group the other group(s), maybe your group, will have to make up the difference...It ain't rocket science.

BINGO!
