Not so much, really.
See, there's a trailer park at the end of my street. It's a given that the folks in there are generally poorer than the rest of us.
I have never seen a bunch of mofos collectively do more stupid sport driving than them.
Oh, and they almost all have big old 4x4 muddin' trucks or cadillacs.
I had many renters like that too. If they had two nickels to rub together, they'd go blow them on something stupid, instead of the necessities of life... like... say...
RENT.
So in the sense of "regressive" meaning additional burden- I don't think so.
