Let's not forget that income tax is only one of the many taxes and fees paid in life. Income tax DOES hit the richest the hardest percentage wise. On the other hand, sales tax hits the poorest the hardest percentage wise. Property tax hits the middle class hardest percentage wise. It has been argued that comparing these taxes is like comparing apples and oranges. I don't think so. The total impact of taxes on the income should be considered, regardless of the source. Separating and catagorizing is how you get distorted views.
