Stupid ass.

No. To the extent that it can be reasonably calculated, EVERY citizen should pay taxes commensurate with the amount of government they use. Your obligation to support the overhead of government has NOTHING to do with your income or even your consumption. Even "flat tax" schemes, which are in actuality, flat tax RATES are not fair, in that higher earners pay more in ACTUAL dollars. Obviously such a system, in addition to being much more logical and fair, would markedly reduce the size of government, across the board.
