The message there that escapes you completely is that with a graduated tax rate the rich are always going to get a larger check back because they are paying the largest amount. I know you don't seem to have even a basic grip on math but lets give it a whirl.

One taxpayer pays 0 tax because they don't earn enough money, and another pays 30k because he is a rich prick. 7% reduction means the guy paying 0 is going to get 0 for a cut (.07*0=0). Guy paying 30k is going to get a 2,100.00 reduction (.07*30000=2100). I suppose you find that unfair but that is just the way math works.

It is a very ugly and misleading post

It is neither and you are clueless.
