No, with a flat income tax, sales and other such taxes would be eliminated, so it would balance out quite a bit.

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.

No I'm not. The term I used was 'contribute more to society', and there are more ways of doing that than paying taxes. Such as getting a job. I'm saying everyone be taxed an equal percentage of their income.
