Key word “federal”. Why specify what specific tax it is? Does it not muddy the waters vs talking about taxes overall?

I did an anecdotal test with a few people near me. They read this as those people pay no taxes. Most people aren’t thinking about the specifics of state, federal, FICA (SS + Medicare), sales, property, and more.

I can’t think of any good faith reason this is done.
