You can back this up. I am not making a judgment call, only setting the record straight. To state that a person making $50k gross/year pays zero federal taxes is of course absurd (and displays your desire to make things up to suit your ideology).
By the way, what is my ideology? I find it interesting how you seem to care how much someone else pays in taxes or how much someone else makes. If you guessed that my ideology was that you should be able to keep more of what you earn and that keeping more of what you earn makes you less dependent on the govt. then you would be right. You see I don't care how much you make so why should you care how much I or anyone else makes and pays in taxes. Signaling out a particular class to target tax increases at is a violation of the very principles upon which our economy was built, individual wealth creation and guaranteed equal opportunity, not guaranteed equal outcome.
