My brother says he will owe the feds about 50K. He makes a lot more money than me.

When they do payroll deductions, they're basically using your money totally interest-free, then applying it to your taxes due.
I'd far rather be earning interest on that money (currently 3.9%) and "pay in" at the end of the year, rather than get a "refund" of my own money.
Further, many people simply could not fork over a couple months pay since they spent it.

Sharpton thought about it for a few moments and replied that the richest 1% should pay 15% of the taxes collected blissfully unaware that at the time (2004) that they paid more than twice that -- 34%. And that number has grown since then. Today, they earn 22.2% of total AGI yet pay 42.3% of all federal income taxes.
