I wasn't advocating this, just pointing out that some of those who are already wealthy have no problem raising our income taxes which makes it more difficult for those of us who aren't wealthy to ever get there.

I don't disagree with this article. It doesn't say that the poor and middle class don't pay more of their income in taxes than the wealthy. It just says that they pay less in direct income taxes.
If you make $10,000 per year and spend it all on living expenses and those goods and services prices are 50% higher because of hidden taxes in the distribution chain then you essentually are paying 50% of your income in taxes.
