that's billions of tax payers money with the tax burden being disproportionately heavy for the 90% while the 10% pay less and less taxes the richer they are

False, the bottom 90% paid about 25% of income taxes (in the US at least). https://taxfoundation.org/publications/latest-federal-income-tax-data/

But I think what they mean is that the 90% are more affected by it, because proportional it's a bigger chunk of their income missing.

But I could be wrong
