It all depends on your income, once you hit a certain level there is no child tax credit or dependent care deduction. Many of my clients have almost no deductions and tremendous taxes. Some people pay seven figures in taxes (not me) to have the same rights and privlages as another guy that makes $6,000 per year, pays no income tax and receives a check from the governement for the earned income credit. It is far from a fair system.
Only allow people that have paid at least $1 in taxes (or file jointly with someone who does) to vote and the problem would quickly be fixed.
