There are people at many levels of the economic spectrum that live paycheck to paycheck. Just because you are a poor manager of money doesn't mean you should get a free ride when it comes to taxes.
What did we do when we were in college? Yeah, we had roomates to split expenses. What do Asian and Hispanic immigrants do (both legal and illegal)? Yeah, they live 15 people to a house, with each adult working and contributing. They make it work, why can't everyone else do the same?
Here's the thing....whether we collect a minimum tax from people who are poor stewards of money or not, they are still going to have money problems because....they are poor stewards of money.
Uncle Sam should be just like the Mob in this regard, he needs to get his cut first, and then folks can figure out how to survive on the rest.
