re: #588 Obdicut

Well, assuming the richest have the 15% effective tax rate of capital gains, in order to figure out whether that claim is true or not we’d have to figure out the real tax burden of a poor person— what they spend in all taxes, not just income taxes. And I have looked and looked for such a calculation, but haven’t found one— if you ever do, let me know.

cool - a project! i’ll try to find something untainted.

but given that the poorest receive an EITC, i have an educated guess as to how this is going to turn out…
