.
The payroll taxes you are talking about are for their social security...and they get refunds for all the money that is taken out of their checks for actual income tax.

As for sales tax....that isn't what we are talking about.
Rich people pay far more in sales tax than most people earn.

There is no way around it...people that pay the most taxes will indeed benefit the most with a tax cut for everyone.
