True, which is why the progressive income tax is working the way it was intended.
Recent research has shown the wealth gap and inequality is not as great as reported because census data does not include government transfer payments as part of income. If government benefits are included and after tax income is used the poverty rate and level of inequality is much lower.
Can u find right to vote in the Constitution?

Don't worry Biden is going to make everyone poor so they will have to tax the poor.

You give new meaning to the phrase, "fucking stupid".
For your education:
Think the poor don’t pay taxes? This chart proves you very wrong.
One of the stranger conservative tax talking points is the claim that the tax code is somehow unfair to rich people, who are unduly burdened by the progressive income tax. "The top 10 percent pay two-thirds of the income tax," the Heritage Foundation's Stephen Moore notes in a representative piece. "And the bottom 50 percent — all Americans with an income below the median — pay just 3 percent of the income tax." Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) made a similar argument in his 2013 and 2014 budgets, which included a flat tax to make "the system more efficient and fair by broadening the tax base, letting everyone contribute to their government instead of a few people contributing for everyone."
Leaving aside the fact that this is exactly how a progressive tax system is supposed to work, this analysis has a big conceptual flaw: it only focuses on federal income taxes. That's not the biggest part of most families' tax bill — most pay more in payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, for example. And it also leaves out state and local governments, which tend to rely heavily on regressive sales and property taxes. Citizens for Tax Justice, a left-leaning tax policy shop with a strong reputation for careful modeling, puts out an annual report looking at how much Americans pay in all taxes put together. It reveals a tax code that, while still progressive for low earners, hits the uber-rich and the upper middle class at roughly the same rate:

Stoney gets lonely. When no one pays attention to him, or he doesn't see any threads where he can possibly "win" a debate with his MAGA mush, he'll start things like this just for the sake of argument. Mind you, even if he engages to some limited degree, he'll NEVER admit to being wrong on any level despite the facts and logic being against his viewpoint. Sad.

More than half of American households paid no federal income tax last year due to Covid-relief funds, tax credits and stimulus, according to a new report.
The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center estimates that 57% of U.S. households paid no federal income taxes for 2021, up substantially from the 44% before the pandemic.

Something like half Americans+Illegals dont pay income tax now federally, and likely not state income tax either....with a lot of them actually getting what are essentially welfare kickers. I dont remember the number but I heard it a few months back. It is almost my bedtime so I am not going to research.

My state (TN) doesn't have a state income tax, but we have the highest sales tax at 9.5% (afaik). People like Ben Shapiro come here to set up shop, then just go live somewhere else. His "business" is headquartered here, but he lives in Florida.
Illegals do not, nor can they get welfare, legally, so, it’s another statement of yours not based on fact.
63% of Non-Citizen Households Access Welfare Programs
https://cis.org › Report › 63-NonCitizen-Households-Ac.. Including the EITC, 31 percent of non-citizen-headed households receive cash welfare...
If you believe that illegals do not get welfare, you are delusional or a partisan hack or both.
If they're not getting government assistance how are they "surviving"?
