Nope. Better check with Grace Zaccardi Member 7391537 on this. Bottom line – the poor pay little or no tax. By far most of the taxes paid fall on the wealthy.

You might try arguing that the taxes paid by the poor represent a greater loss in utility than the taxes paid by the wealthy, and thereby after normalization (for utility), the wealthy do, in fact, pay lower taxes than the poor. That might be a way to justify socking it to them.
