Are you asking if Federal Tax is more or less progressive than previously, the answer is that it is much more progressive than ever. People with lower incomes not only pay no income tax but actually receive large refunds of tax that they never paid to start with. A person who is single made about $15,000 income with two or three children can receive a refund of $10,000 or more without paying any income tax at all during the year. This is after receiving several type of welfare, food stamps, free housing, payment assistance on their schooling, utilities, etc.
