家园 when federal income tax

was first introduced, only 2% of people are qualified to pay INCOME TAX (federal level).

It is not accurate to claim that average Joes are not paying income taxes. At the beginning, income tax was supposed to readjust and reduce income disparity among havenots and haves.

BTW, lots of Americans are still paying real estate taxes and sales taxes. Those are major source of revenue for local governments.
