Edit

Also if everyone paid the same amount in taxes either the poor would get even poorer, or the rich would hardly be affected at all, not even close to paying "their fair share."

Taxation is not stealing. Stealing is taking without consent. By being a citizen of the United States of America, you consent to any and all taxes levied. It's essentially paying rent to the government for the countless things you benefit from. Claiming taxation is theft is like claiming a grounding is unlawful imprisonment: it's overly melodramatic and untrue. It's one of two completely unavoidable things in life, alongside death.

Per your edit. So, therefore, the poor should get the tax breaks, and the rich should get tax hikes. That's what it sounds to me like what you're saying, and I agree.
