No, just income tax, the only portion of the tax code that is nominally progressive. Payroll taxes are explicitly regressive, going away at an income of roughly the top 5%. Sales taxes are flat. Even income taxes aren't as progressive as you would think, because a large fraction of upper-class wealth comes from dividends and capital gains, which are taxed at a rate below the income of a household earning $78,951 year! The biggest tax deductions are for homeowners (including second homes) and retirement savings, which overwhelmingly go to the wealthy. The idea that the wealthy pay a high tax rate is absurd if you look at the whole picture. https://smartasset.com/taxes/dividend-tax-rate https://smartasset.com/taxes/dividend-tax-rate
