So, if I earn $10 a year and pay $10 to go to a federal park, that means I

pay 100% of my income in taxes? Wow!

As for the feds cutting taxes. Suppose they cut 200 from a program that

would have increased by 1,000. So, it was "cut" by 20%. Wow again.

The focus on *income* tax is largely accurate: there is a minimum

income level for each family size under which you do not owe taxes. However,

these people pay a lot of federal taxes, just not as income tax. The numbers

that I have seen show that the lower your income, the larger the percentage

of it goes to the federal government when you count all forms of taxes,

fees, etc.
