The idea that lower income people who tend to use government services more readily, should pay THEIR FAIR SHARE of the tax burden is gaining traction.Is that so?
Then dispute my claim.

From the yahoo article it states that they (the taxpayor) qualified for enough exemptions and deductions to eliminate liability. So they are wrong because they did it right?
N - it is wrong that half of all wage earners have zero or even negative tax liability for ANY reason. In a country that is bankrupt, we cannot afford to have the IRS pay half of the working population money rather than the other way around.
Period.
In the Western European socialist countries, all wage earners pay taxes to the government.
It is absolute lunacy to allow half of the population escape federal tax liability.
