Those of us yet to conform to gov't directed actions like getting married, having kids or getting a mortgage are the ones who marginally get hit the hardest. I have friends that easily pay over 100k/year in taxes in NY but pretty much have to live like college students b/c of the jacked up tax code.
K. What's a fair amount? Who's the judge? If we had a flat tax that would be the "fairest" of all. Does 10% (let's say) take more money out of a poor man's pocket than a rich man's? The percentage is the same, has the same impact on your budget.
