NO - I'm suggesting that on a PERCENTAGE BASIS all tax payers should be treated essentially the same, or at least essentially the same within a tiered structure.
Do people making $300K somehow use MORE of government services than someone making $80k? Do they use more of the libraries? more defense? more highways? more public schools?
Of course not, so why should they be singled out and asked to pay a significantly higher percentage of their income, simply because they are more successful than others?
