"Some think it's too progressive. Some don't think it's progressive enough," said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the center.

What a priceless quote, so deep and insightful.

I would be interested to see what they define as no tax liability. Throughout my whole college career I made very little (around 10k) but still paid taxes. I had to pay both payroll and income taxes but at the end of the year I would generally not owe anymore than had already been withheld. This makes me think that they tax liability they refer to means that if you someone is defined as having no tax liability they in fact have no extra taxes to pay on April 15 but indeed did pay through their withholdings.
