The original argument was that poor people don't pay taxes. I am refuting that because it is simply not true. That's all that is happening here. OP wanted to peddle their right wing propaganda, and I am calling them out on it. The entire argument is literally what gets put out daily by conservative "think tanks" and "study committees" funded by the top 0.01%, and Americans, bless their hearts, happily eat it up.

You don't argue the point on the basis of income tax exclusively unless you have an agenda to push. Maybe you aren't in the loop, but it's almost word for word what gets pumped out daily by every Koch funded group. You see the same s*it here, on Facebook, in the media, so yeah, by that definition it doesn't seem "radical" because "everyone is saying it." The script almost writes itself: "I was recently in Ohio, and a big man, strong man, worked on the railroad his whole life and you could see it you know what I mean, came up to me, tears in his eyes, and said Mr. Trump I've lost everything and I don't have much, but please take more of my money so that income taxes are more fair because it's just so sad what we're doing to the rich people in this country treating them like dogs."
