In my little country in Western Europe starting in World War 2 all those with income from labor have paid wage taxes. The first income tax was introduced in 1915. Before that in the 16th century: the first value added tax. Most revenue up until 1915 came from value added taxes and levies. That goes to show that (comparatively) low taxes is not a function of low income.
