Which is why these calculators should tell people who pay less than $32K that they are getting supported by the 5% who pay most of the taxes...

The same 5% who in many cases run massively profitable companies that pay their workers on the bottom so much less than a living wage that they are forced into tax-funded social safety net programs like SNAP to survive.
That 5% can cry me a river about their tax burden.
we should also break it down by state and determine distribution of electoral college votes based on it
