The average 'poor' person who is paying no federal income taxes is probably using exemptions, deductions, and credits to knock 2 or 3 or 4 thousand dollars off his tax bill.
Compare that to a rich person who uses a variety of the same to knock 10 or 20 or 30 or 100 thousand off his tax bill,
then tell us who's getting the freer ride.
And many are also using refundable tax credits to receive more money back than they paid in.
Just getting rid of those will put a nice dent in the deficit.
The tax code should not be an income redistribution tool
