Don't forget all the hidden taxes and taxes that hurt the poor more. A poor person pays a far higher proportion of their income on VAT than a rich person and usually on inferior food. If you are poor you are more likely to drink and smoke. Again significant tax burdens. In the UK everyone has to drive if you want a job and have you seen the tax on fuel. People in expensive cars pay the same amount on fuel as poorer people. Council tax is pretty much the same for the man in a mansion as the man on the run down estate. The biggest one is inflation which hurts the poor far more and when the super rich have doubled their wealth in a decade and the poor are poorer that is a massive tax.

The system is messed up and it hurts the poor guy. Even if he pays no income tax he still struggles in a central bank run government monstrosity.

No doubt the system is fucked up but we don't have vat in the us. You have points but don't grasp the us tax code. I've been dealing with it all my life from little income to decent income. I payed a much lower rate when I made less. You will prob come up with opposing points but I'm telling you how it is here. Until 1913 income was not constitutional and the us got revenue from tariffs. Go ahead tell me how I'm wrong on what I've known and payed all my life along with my friends family and enemies

You have no VAT? That's good. VAT is low here which is better than the UK but it should be abolished. The UK is unaffordable really. I can't remember the VAT rate but it is something silly. Plus those council taxes where they hardly ever take your garbage. It's beyond me how there is never a revolution. Makes sense that people drink so heavily though.

Non income taxes in the UK definitely discriminate against the poor. No doubt about that.

Yes there is a move to abolish income tax and make a consumption tax. Might be a good idea but that also might get out of hand. The government needs rehab for money addiction. Certain branches of government lecture America of the people's credit card debt ect and I find that funny. Certainly the current tax code could be changed to something better but it is so ingrained in our government I see little hope in a positive change
