The problem isn't the oddness of the taxation, but how poorly the dollars are spent.

That is so ridiculous. That logic assumes one of two things indisputably.
A) People who make less money are less capable biological then their more fiscally productive counterparts.
B) People should be punished for success.
Which is it?
There is no reason anyone regardless of income should have to pay a higher or lower percentage of the money they earn to the government. The government should have to budget and spend wisely just like the rest of us.
And of course government is inherently corrupt. It is a position of great power people seek great power to A) make use of it B) exploit it
When 50% hell likes say 10% of your applicants are group B some are going to slip through the cracks. Recent history suggests the first number is more accurate then the second.
