I don't know about the specifics of where you live, but in most places I know the poor are the most taxed. The entire supply chain is taxed throughout, from labour taxes, to service taxes, VAT, property taxes, etc. and all of this ends up in the final price of anything that's purchased. Since the poor usually spend all or most of their income, these things are a much bigger burden for them than for the rich who save most of their income. Even if you take away the entire supply chain, people are still paying VAT or similar taxes on anything they buy to eat, wear, use, etc.
