"As a percentage of disposable income?"

Don't be silly. Bringing in frivilous side issues does not contribute to the discussion at all...

In absolute terms, and as a percentage of income.

Disposeable income isn't taxed. Income is.

And in many cases the federal tax system is tilted in favor of the poor even as a percentage of disposable income. Many of the poor pay zero in income tax, or even a negative income tax as they get a refundable earned income tax credit.
