90% of education is paid through property taxes, so ALL americans pay for education, whether through their own tax bill or through the rent they pay the owner....
those that earn about 20k as a couple do not pay income tax due to our standard deductions....
even if you make 50k a year, or a million a year or 10 million a year, NO couple PAYS TAXES on the first =/-$20k they earn....so if you are going to tax the poorest for their first 20k then you are going to tax the $50k-er etc, for their first 20k earned as well and make every single person paying taxes, have a higher tax burden than they do now.... is that what you want?
most all that do not pay income taxes, do pay social security taxes, which have been used to pay for what income taxes should have paid for....so these folks ARE supporting the budget expenses...
most all that do not pay income taxes pay the majority of cigarette taxes collected, gas taxes collected...they pay as well, and they pay corporate income taxes on what they purchase from the corporations because as most repubs say, corporate taxes are just put in to the price of the product....and as said, they pay for schools through property taxes which the poor pay through rent or the tax...
they also pay State income taxes in most cases and they pay state sales taxes on what they buy, and they pay state gas taxes, plus they buy more lottery tickets than anyone, and this pays for government expenses.
