Except they aren't though, they are regressive taxes that hit the poor disproportionately hard.

If the poor got off the 1,000s of welfare programs we have (funded with our income tax) and go to work they wouldn't be poor.
The latest scam I found out about: P.T.S.D. You think it's for combat vets? Nope. It's for everybody. A woman I saw on TV gets $700 a month due to PTSD because her child was killed in a car accident. She's been getting the check for 9 years because the trauma prevents her from working.
