Roughly half of all wage earnes pay zero federal income taxes. Zero. Half the wage earners pay nothing in federal income taxes. The top 10% wage earners pay roughly one-third of all income taxes.

If it's fairness you seek, then might I suggest all wage earners pay federal income taxes? In other words, the only fair thing to do is increase taxes on the poor.
