I made $100 K last year. I have a wife, three kids, and a mortgage. My effective federal income tax rate without any contortions was 7.9%. I think I pay more in Social Security and Medicare taxes.

Now figure that as single with no dependents other than yourself. It will be one hell of a lot more than 15%!

That is what pi**s me off. They should tax everyone the same and they can have as many kids as they can afford on whats left.
