I like pointing out how little poor people pay in taxes and arguing that if you want to help poor people, step one is to eliminate income tax for the poor. You lose virtually nothing in tax revenue, and then the poor get to keep an extra few thousand each year. If you can't find common ground with a progressive on that front, then they really don't care about helping the poor and would make a terrible ally anyways.
It definitely lowers effective taxation. The rich pay for fucking everything. People are enriched when they create value and the government does all things shitty - including that.

Lol most of them have been duped into believing poor people pay the majority of the taxes.
