Maybe it was the most regressive passed, but it's not the most regressive on the books (no income tax) which is what they were aiming for:

Doesn't regressive mean that it taxes the poor more than the rich? Zero taxation would affect everyone equally.

But no income tax != no tax. You still have other forms of taxation, such as sales taxes, that are highly regressive.

And this is even more regressive.
