Income tax exists for the purpose of taxing the dollar instead of the individual. If everyone were taxed at the same rate the government's wealth would fluctuate with employment rate, and with out sourcing, illegals working, and non-taxable career choices (like prostitutes and drug dealers) that would cause for a fairly poor (as in non-wealthy) government. Especially so as those trends increase.

I don't think the government needs to be wealthy. If it's poor it'll be motivated because you'll your job if stays poor. This is how the real world works, this is how government should have to work.
I think this is the genesis of our dispute: Do you think government subsidization is more capable\effective then private organization?
