$27K makes you rich?
You bet it does. There are people in this world who would LOVE to earn U.S. $5K a year. Even that seemingly small amount would lift them up from abject misery to merely being poor.

LOL...
I was "poor" last year and paid more than you in taxes...about 5% or $800.
I think that there should be some REASONABLE amount that is exempted for everyone. Say the first $50,000 or so that allows most families to live reasonably comfortable. After that a flat tax of whatever percent on everything else would be good. I don't think 10% is fair for a family that is struggling to make ends meet though and most under 27K would definately be struggling!
