I've noticed that a tax is always 'sobre' something: impuesto sobre la renta / impuesto sobre el valor / impuesto sobre el valor añido etc., although this describes the kind of tax, not who is paying it.

I was trying to say that in English we say that "the lottery is the poor man's tax".

No, eso es el IVA. La lotería es un impuesto sobre la falta de formación en estadística y probabilidad.

laepelba is correct, although the phrase should be:
La lotería es la cosa más vil, es un impuesto para los pobres. In this case it would mean that it is imposed to the poor people, so they can get out of poverty and is like IVA but self-imposed. |

Un impuesto para/a los pobres (a tax for the poor) -> Un impuesto que pagan los pobres (the poor pay this tax)
Un impuesto sobre los pobres (a tax on the poor) -> Un impuesto que se pagaría de acuerdo al número de pobres (people would pay this tax because there are poor people)

Is "impuesto" the correct word for "tax" here? I saw a LOT of nouns for "tax" in the dictionary, and wasn't quite sure which was appropriate here....
