1. This is to mean rich people are more important.
I got this cute thing too.

No where in the constitution does it give taxpayers more rights than those who don't pay taxes.

If you're rich, yes, you're paying more taxes than the middle class - BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE GIVEN MORE THAN *ONE* VOTE, more "representation".

"Taxpayers" my ass. Nice meme.

2. For many taxes, it's the dollars that pay rather than the people...
Especially for a progressive income tax. Your first x dollars are taxed at the same other whether you make y or z...It's only the difference between y and z that is taxed at a greater amount.
