Jeez I only made $2400 this year before taxes. Then again im 15.
I think I can see where the divide is coming from. Older people with 'real' jobs who are making $50,000+ see no problems paying a few hundred in taxes. Younger people who don't make much see a few hundred as a 'lot' and want to avoid the taxes.

I'm sure you will find quite a few older people on this forum that have issue with paying taxes, regardless of amount.
