I think the difference, for lack of a better word, in the amount of taxes people pay, is the deductions. If someone has no additional deductions than the standard deductions, they are taxed on ALL of their AGI.
I think there should be some types of deductions for people without children, for one thing. Is the idea behind the child credit to keep more money in your pocket to support your kids? I appreciate that, but, don't see why people with no children, or no children they can claim now, should have to basically be penalized.
