Best Answer

In the US, income is taxed directly as an income tax. It is, however, also taxed indirectly in the form of sales taxes and personal property taxes; a person who has more income is likely to also spend more money buying things (and therefore pay more sales tax) and own more and higher value personal property (and therefore pay more personal property tax).
