Unfortunately the politicians would score political points by only making 1 percent of the country (the wealthiest) pay for it.
If everybody had to pay fairly for everything the govt. does...the govt. would be what it is supposed to be: small and unobtrusive in people's lives.
Instead, I feel like I work for the govt. And they have so many laws and rules that I can't get out of the bed first thing in the morning without accidentally breaking some kind of stupid law.
