I started writing my comment with the assumption that low income earners weren't paying that much in taxes, then napkin math pointed that they may be paying an order magnitude more than my expectation. Is my napkin math accurate?

I don’t know. Maybe I’ll have time later today to look for research on the topic. I believe it’s the typical case that low income earners pay less (in federal tax, at least) as that’s the point of a progressive tax structure
