Somehow I don't think so. Higher priced stuff, though, probably.
The rich probably buy more cleaning products because they have more things to clean, but the poor generally live in less desireable, which means dirtier (among other things), environments, and so need cleaning products more. A little chlorine bleach and a good all-purpose cleanser will do a lot to keep you healthy. Healthy is much more productive than sick, if you have a choice. Preventive maintenance goes a long way toward preserving the health you have.
I think it sucks to put a tax on keeping body and soul together, especially if you're a struggling family with young children. You didn't say so directly, but I think you agree. Common ground, at last!
You're looking at it from an economics angle, and I'm looking at it from a social investment angle. It really does meet somewhere in the middle: if you want people to be productive and improve themselves, they have to have access to the tools to do that. Health is one of those tools. So is education. Self-reliance is another.
Thanks for the unintentional humor from the Great Bear State. Can those guys write comedy or what?

The rich buy more food, soap and toilet paper per person than the poor?
