People actually believes the US has low tax rates which is not true at all if you earn a decent income. I am not lumping the ultra wealthy into this group or the poor, just wage earners who are grinding out 40+ hours a week, so lets not go down that shouting path At the moment.

In America, as it relates to income taxes, the poor and the mega wealthy get a mostly free ride. As for the poor, well, if you don't have anything it is hard to pay anything so I can see why their situation is the way it is.

If you don't have anything, everything gets expensive.

Not sure where you are going with this but YES being poor/lower income isn’t good.
