   I think the threshold is lower. Even people living solely on     
   gov't pension (approx $1400/mo) are still calculated to owe     
   taxes.

   It depends on the location. I see the homeless in my town. Many     
   people have hardly enough to have plumbing and hydro at their     
   homes. Many cannot afford home insurance or basic home     
   maintenance and homes fall into disrepair.

   A segment of the population will remain struggling.
