That's incorrect. The tax rate is lower for lower income thus they pay less proportionally. If you look at what I listed—sales tax, excise tax, meal taxes—those are the same whether you’re rich or poor, except they have a disproportionate impact on the poor. Poor people do get most of what they pay in income tax back once they file but that’s not the case for these other taxes.
