Which is vastly different than taxes as a percentage of income. If a person each month is left with $100, then gas tax as a percentage of income is going to hit them MUCH harder and larger than a person with millions.

That's what taxes as a percentage of income means, it's not really possible to confuse the two.

no wonder you're on the bottom rung.
if you had a friend, they'd whisper in your ear to stop embarrassing yourself by typing.
