This is where this fails. A minority hold the majority of the wealth, the middle and lower class hold a tiny minority, assume taxes are "equal" for everyone, at a percentage rate, well, you can see where this falls apart, if not, I will gladly explain it.
It's a simple concept. If you want a service you need to be able to afford the service at what it costs. The cost should be equal between all of those desiring to purchase the service as what they are buying is the same. It's not hard to understand and only the government wants to run on a different principle.
Why should I pay more for things like police protection than you? If anything the police spend more time in poor communities, so they should pay more.
