Even as a single person in the 15% federal bracket, I manage to walk away paying an effective 10% tax rate. OTOH, if you want to hit up some people who don't pay taxes, go chase the public sector employees who don't pay state taxes on their retirement benefits while their private sector counterparts pay taxes over any retirement income over $20K. Ooops. |
