Who said anything about taxing the poor more? They're hardly taxed at all as it is, and most of their income is tax money to begin with.

If they were to make a flat rate then the poor would have to pay even more taxes than they are paying now.

I know who has it worst and who has it best. But what you're saying is that there should be no incentive to try and improve your status. You're saying that it should be attractive to be poor by, instead of helping them out of poverty, contributing to it by giving them uncontrolled money.

I'm saying that not all poor people are poor because of the reasons that you suggested. And you're suggesting that the rich should get taxed less and the poor get taxed more.
