If 9 people make $100 and 1 makes $10,000, when you tax them it looks like this:
$100 @ 30% = $30
$10,000 @ 30% = $3,000
So, the taxes go to pay for what? Should the 1 guy who paid the most get more since he paid more? Should we have a special lane on the Interstates for those few people that pay the most taxes so that their benefit from paying more is equivalent to those that pay less?
Or is it ok to take more from one guy so that the 9 others can have more benefit? Even though the 9 guys work for the 1, is he entitled to provided more of his money so they can gain more by it? Is it his fault that the 9 are ignorant and can't find their own 9 guys to work for them? Is it his fault he provides a product or service to the other 9 and therefore should receive less benefit than the others?
Look at the real numbers of how many receipts the gooberment makes. Look at how much $$$ they bring in every year and how much they have going out. The majority support the extravagance of the few. All benefit but not equally. Those who make more benefit less.
