Poor/slaves - Depending on who is their master, they may have almost no rights to large amounts of rights. If they have a 'horrible' master, they are usually worked to the bone and did not have any 'extras', for example being able to go view games, etc. If they have a 'good' master, they get treated well, and have the 'extras'.
consule- A consul is one of two annually elected chief magistrates of the Roman republic
Empire- Usually is the royal family, or the Caesar family, these usually have their titles passed down through family(?), unless there is a coup, and another family takes it over (which happened often towards the end of the empire)
hope this helps

Agree because lowering taxes does not effectively change or raise people’s incomes or how their incomes are. It wouldn’t change the fact rich people don’t pay taxes or lower incomes paying the most, In my opinion
