Not relative to their income tho. Sales taxes are regressive and get more money from the poor

They get less money from the poor but it's a higher percentage of that person's income. There is a difference.

The great thing about sales tax is that everyone can bypass it. You don't need to be the kind of person who can hire a tax expert to coach you; all you need to do is drive over the state line!
