You seem to be making the analogy that the man who pays 59% of the total tax bill is getting 59% of the total government services.

The analogy fails by inspection.

No, it is impossible to make such an assessment. What I'm saying is that if the government did not exist, the 10th man would have only a minor fraction of what he has with the government. People who benefit the most should pay the most.
