I love the negative percentages for the lowest quintile. I know the reasons - earned income credit, child care credit, etc. but I sure wish I had a negative tax rate. Does the negative share of the federal tax burden mean we owe these people money every year?

After a quick look, all I notice is no one is paying an effective rate of over 20%.
