    An important thing to note is that 50% don’t pay federal tax, as you said here

    They still pay sales tax and taxes of that sort (which actually are significant), just not the federal income/property taxes

      Yes, federal income tax. Let’s also add that sales tax are far more regressive than other forms of taxation. Some places use those taxes more that are more likely to disproportionately affect the lower income population.
