The lowest tax bracket is 0%, so anyone making less than that amount pays 0% income tax. Of course, they do pay FICA, which is hugely regressive - x% with a maximum. Removing the maximum, and leaving it at the same percent would fix that funding problem.

Also, many poor people are poor because they can't get a full time job.
