Take the total income tax revenue generated by the government. Divide it by the total population. Multiply that amount by the number of people in your household. That is your family's "fair share" of income taxes.

The liberals are correct that there are a lot of people out there who are not paying their "fair share" of income taxes. They are just wrong about who these people are.
I just did the math. I get $8,150 per person. So a family of four is paying it's fair share if they pay $32,600 or more in federal income taxes per year. This is only federal income taxes, not social security or anything else.
Any government that can't sustain operations on 20% of that amount is needlessly bloated and inefficient and in serious need of down sizing.
