If you expect sympathy you're looking in the wrong place anyway. I don't own a home, split rent with family members, don't smoke ($), drive a fuel economical used car and work full time at a job that pays well above minimum (nearly double) yet I still rank below the poverty line, am forced to live paycheck to paycheck and somehow owed in taxes even after claming so they would take out more each paycheck.
Where are my tax loopholes?

The point is not sympathy it's to debunk the crap you are spewing about how taxes are good because I enjoy driving my car on roads.
I also think the definition of poverty needs some context here. So you have a home you share with family (unless you mean you live with your parents), you have a car, you apparently have a computer and internet access, you have enough money to pay your bills each month and maybe not too much more, presumably a TV and other niceties as well like air conditioning, cable TV or satellite, etc. This is not some kind of scorched-earth, third world country, going to bed hungry type of scenario that you are on and the related imagery that is conjured up when we say 'poverty'.
Minimum wage is not a good baseline and double minimum is not a good bar. What do you expect, the government to give you money because it's 'unfair' that someone else has more money than you?
