As a percentage of their wealth they will pay a lot less than the middle class or poor do when it comes to any consumption tax or tariff. Because once again, the system is stacked in their favor.

- AnthonyMouse 2y agoNeither sales nor income taxes are "a percentage of their wealth" in any case. The issue is that in practice their declared income isn't inherently higher than their spending and it's often lower, so the argument that the existing income tax would collect more from them than a consumption tax is erroneous.
