But in real life the 9 would be forced to subsidize the tenth

If only. In real life:

4 have $1
2 have $3
1 has $4
1 has $6
1 has $900

The one with $900 pays off the politicians to get those with $3 to pay 10%, the one with $4 to pay 25%, and the one with $6 to pay 40% in taxes.

The politician gets the six making $3 or less to vote for him by using the the one with $900 as an example of a massive wealth gap.

After the vote, the one with $900 gets out of paying any taxes, and the rest taxes are given to those with $1. The final tally is as follows:

4 have $1.9
2 have $2.90
1 has $3
1 has $3.6
1 has $900

Abolish income taxes and replace those with tariffs and a National Retail Sales Ta.
