Then you're saying that government stole an additional $1,000 from taxpayer B?
Stole? One could perhaps look at it that way. What happens when one doesn't pay the federal income taxes one owes? Property seizure, prison sentence, etc.
That's what makes a flat federal income tax beginning at 150% of poverty level income much more inherently fair.

Can you give me a GOOD reason taxpayer B paid $1,000 more than taxpayer A?
Tax law. Don't like it? Work on getting it changed.
That's why I'm all for a flat federal income tax on all income above 150% of the federal poverty level.
Think about what you said. How, exactly, do you expect a weak numerical minority (one-third of Americans) and an even weaker political minority (one-sixth of Congressional voters) to change a tax provision which disfavors them?

1/3 is a lot of people. Look at how many registered voters typically show up to vote in an election (and of all who are eligible, 67% are registered to vote).
2000: 54.2%
2004: 60.4%
2008: 62.3%
2012: 57.5%Avg: 58.6%Multiply that 58.6% by the 67% who are registered, and you get 39.2%.
