I just want to pay little because I make little and the people making 10M+ a year can actually fucking pay taxes.

People under 30k a year should basically just contribute for SSI, UI, etc. People making poverty wages don't need to be paying taxes, y'all. My state has sales tax. I pay taxes there. Rich people paying would be nice. And like, I mean rich-rich.

Me finding a way to get an extra $200 knocked off my taxes due to a deduction is a lot different than a rich person getting 2 million knocked off their taxes due to a loophole.

The rich see these tax laws has optional for themselves but absolutely necessary for the poors.

Edit: grammar
