That's okay, the top .1% buy and pay for everyone and the .9% left in the fake 1%, get to continue on pretending to be rich while they pay up too... suckers!
Anyway, the lower income to working poor people pay a much much much LARGER percentage of income to taxes.
They don't get a return on all taxes, just income tax... and that is a tax that is still taken from them each check, and percentage of income wise, it hits them hard every check. Plenty of hard working, poor people, that struggle to pay for food over $20 a week that was ate up in taxes rather than the kids mouths. That's a worry us higher income folks never think about.....
Some taxes we all pay:
SS & Medicare roughly 15% or so... that's a hell of an amount to low income people
State income taxes and Property/Rental tax - State to state of course.
Sales Tax - They don't buy as much, but it hits them harder either way.
All public transportation, car reg, whatever we use - all have taxes on it
Passed on corporate income taxes.
