That's why Income Tax reform doesn't matter to the 50% of the population who currently pay NO income taxes. Make them feel the pain of their vote.

Seriously? How about those who are on disability- legitimately? I mean the ones who can't work due to their disability. Or retired folks who actually prepared for retirement but still have a fixed income? These people are largely considered "poor" because of their fixed income or inability to generate income. Should they feel the pain, too?

Neither of those are driving to work every day, so the pain in this case is minimal.

The Fair Tax solved the problem by rebating the tax if someone spent all of the poverty-level income on taxable items. Even though those at or below poverty level paid no tax, there was still an incentive to not raise the tax. That's where the "pain" is needed, like the pain that warns you not to stick your hand in a fire. No tax increase, no pain.
