Income taxes... You realize there are more taxes than just income, yes? Seriously, the whole "but rich people pay all the taxes, and poor people pay no taxes..." myth needs to die a horrible death. But I live in a state which just lowered the income tax. And increased every other tax, as well as created a variety of taxes on services that were previously untaxed. And they then tell us our taxes have gone down. But somehow, the vast majority of people seem to be have less personal profit than the year before (assuming all income and costs sans taxes remain the same).
