Oh, sure, the 35% that middle income earners (ballpark $50,000 per annum) pay to the federal government is more than enough, and those below median income pay far too much, especially considering that the wealthiest 400 households have been paying ~16% due to abusive, regressive deductions and exemptions for which only the over-privileged are eligible.
