I think you make an interesting point. The tax system isn't "fair". You aren't paying nearly enough in taxes. Even though you only make about 28k, you should be taxed at the over 40% tax rate as well for income tax purposes. This of course is just a federal level, so lets just assume that the state will take another 10% and just strip half of your paycheck every time to help make it more fair.
