Poorer people have bigger tax burden than the rich

If anyone is still clinging to the belief that we're all in anything together, they should prepare for some bad news, because according to the Office for National Statistics, the poor are shouldering more than their fair share of the tax burden. Apparently they pay out 37% of everything they earn in taxes, compared to the rich who pay out 35%.

So how can this happen, and is it fair?
