Not only is it unfair to poor people, but impoverished Americans, statistically, are more likely to be African American. While we have made great strides against prejudice in our society, it is unfair and untrue to say it doesn't still exist.

All taxes are disproportionate on the poor. I dont think there is a single law that isnt. Just seems like a given.
