A years interest on $1200 bucks is about enough for a cup of coffee. Quit acting like it's gonna pay the rent. I see your point about interest but it's hardly a significant amount and I know from personal experience that the lump sum can come in awful handy (perhaps to make a rent payment).
Be that as it may, however it certainly does not demonstrate one way or the other whether someone who actually does pay taxes should pay more or less.
