It certainly makes sense that rich people should pay more taxes as they stand to lose much more from under-funded defense, and a hostile takeover over the country than poor people do. |
.... no it doesn't.
IF youa dded up Department of Defence, VA AND OTHER and coutned it all as that.... (Which it obviously isn't) You still aren't there.
Note social security is actually also paid through income taxes, because soical security money is used to buy US bonds... which is then used for defense spending/intrestest.... etc.
Taxes definitly favor the poor more. Which is fine... because they should.
