Slightly off topic, but sales tax is not regressive and anti-poor. We exempt food. So a poor person is likely to pay very little in sales taxes in proportion to their low income. While a richer person pays sales tax on their new boat, their new car, their new Playstation 7, etc. It may not be progressive, but certainly not super-regressive. And anti-poor? Really?
