There is a small percentage that earn more than 250k net. With all the deductions, and write-offs that is allowed in the current tax-code, its amazing how little the super-rich are actually paying.

I am nowhere close to being super rich. But I pay next to nothing in taxes.

Why? Cause I get deductions for being married, having kids, realestate taxes, and mortage interest.Now Why should I get a tax break for having kids? or purchasing a home? or for being married?

My coworker is single and makes about 10k less than I do, yet he paid twice as much in taxes than I did this year.

The Tax system is not fair. If anything I should be paying more than my coworker.
