Look, some have a hard time understanding why "taxing the rich" is the worst thing that we can do, because only the poor will pay those taxes.
Think about this - you tax Bill Gates more. So Bill Gates raises the cost of Microsoft products. Bill does not pay the tax - YOU do!
So all the rich get taxed more, and ALL products increase in cost to cover them. So now you have to get a pay raise to fight the "inflation". And now YOUR boss has to increase the prices of HIS products.
Everyone passes his tax burden onto those below them. Everyone, that is, except the poor - there is no one below them to pass it off to.
Every tax that has ever been assessed on anyone has always been paid by the poorest among us.
