People who have big incomes pay big taxes.
People who have little incomes pay little taxes

That's to be expected but it would be much better if it were exactly proportionate. That is, everyone should pay the same proportion of their income in taxes. One who makes $1000 should pay 10% or $10. One who makes $100,000 should pay 10,000 or 10%. That's the only fair way to do it and the only way to ensure that selective tax cuts aren't used to buy votes.

There is no simple answer to this.

Let's just start by saying everyone has to eat and there's a certain minimum cost involved. Read that metaphorically.

"$1000 should pay 10% or $10. "

WHOOPS!! Math as a second language? I meant 10% of $1000 is $100. Sorry.
