    Switching out progressive taxes for regressive taxes, nothing to see here.

    People earning under $50,000 actually get double fucked, since they were exempt from the income tax of 4.25% before, and now they will have to pay the new “lower” 3% income tax AND the new sales tax.

    Fuck you poor people.

      While this is regressive and fucked, it looks like lower income people still won’t have to pay income tax:

      As part of the legislative package, lawmakers doubled the standard deduction for seniors and nearly tripled the standard deduction for individuals, effectively eliminating income tax on the lowest income households.
