That scenario is not always the case. I saw an article about Mitt Romney, where he made some very large profits off his investments, but was taxed at a 10% rate because it's capital gains tax rate. The average person making $40,000 is paying 17.93%, so there's some legitimate complaints to be made about taxes IMO.
Just like the statistical charts gortnipper posted, both imply a simple narrative, when in fact it's rarely the case. Laws and policies are complicated. How else would these scummy politicians pay back their superpacs if they didn't weave in some exceptions to fair rules for all... (just playing devil's advocate here...)
