If it was, then I would have thought that would have been mentioned in your opening post.
We have real live posters who have said that they make 50K or less and that they pay federal income tax. It's real clear to me.
redhatty makes a good point, too. This article is twisted, It doesn't make sense. But if it's what you want to believe, have at it.

you realize that even a flat tax cannot be applied on people with NO INCOME, right???
personally, I think the Fair Tax is the best option. It will even collect from people who have unclaimed income, as soon as they spend it

My wife and I combined last year made around 75K, we got a whopping 1200 dollar refund check for federal taxes. Myself alone they collected nearly 6K dollars in federal income tax.
