Yeah. Progressive bracketing of income tax is only one aspect of the whole thing. It gets a lot of attention but once you take into account taxes on everything else, which also includes the most basic groceries for some reason, the non-wealthy end up getting taxed more proportionally to their income.

Main culprits in Poland are VAT and excise tax, they are very high and added to nearly all necessities, so things poor people need but aren't added to thing rich people do with their money, that is various finance schemes.
