What should they pay.

Anyone who built any business no matter how hard they worked and how well they managed their businness has to add luck into the mix.


Luck is always a factor in life.


Those who are successful and deny luck had something to do with it are deluding themselves

So you just blame your lot in life, to being unlucky!
 
I know an older couple, limited education.

They made a total of 37,452 last year. Not old enough to qualify for Social Security yet. They both work very hard.

What do you think is fair for them to pay in Federal Taxes?

They should pay $3,745.20. Everyone should pay 10%. If you make one dollar, you pay ten cents. If you make 100,000, you pay 10,000. We could also discuss the merits of having a second bracket for millionaires (I think an additional 10% on income exceeding $1 Mil would suffice) but the point is, everyone should have skin in the game.
