Taxes on groceries, gasoline, nursing home beds, cigarettes, beer, and sales taxes are regressive taxes.

Surely regression can be a good thing.

They affect those of the lowest incomes the most.

They may be of the lowest income but their vote is still as important as a billionaire's.

And thus they should be taxed at a higher proportion of their means than a billionaire?
