Sales tax and tariffs is literally theft. EDIT: And the kind that people can't afford.
All taxes are but we need a bare minimum. Sales taxes are the fairest of taxes and tariffs are needed to protect the working class, unless you want to be paid peanuts and all production is offshored.
Income tax is not theft if the tax dollars are being used properly. Obviously if income tax is going to welfare for single moms, then that is theft. Because the more money people make, the more they benefit from soyciety. So they should pay more. The more you get out of soyciety, the more you should put back in. This is literally how to not be a fucking parasite 101. Making working class people provide most of the funding is the most parasitic system possible.
All taxes are used incorrectly because it's not the person who earns the resource who spends it. Thus by the nature of reality it will never be used properly only "somewhat" properly.
And they will pay more at the exact same rate as everyone else if they consume more.
It's not like people can just consume less to avoid paying sales tax if there is sales tax and tariffs that affect literally everything like basic necessities. That is only the case when it comes to taxes on luxury goods or shit like cigarettes.
