So you think it's great that rich get taxed at 15% and the poor/middle class at roughly 30-40%?

I'm pretty sure among you and Krugman, you're a hack.

A significant portion of the poor are taxed well below 15% on a average basis, with a non-trivial fraction below 0%.

I'd be hard-pressed (as would you) to concoct a "poor" person's tax return with an average rate of roughly 30-40%.
