Our governments spend too much. Income is not the problem, spending is. I suggest a short course in economics so you can discover that income AND expenditure are related. You would probably be the first to complain if the government provided NO services at all! In fact it's the rich who want a police force, fire department etc. far more than the poor do :-) The problem with your arguments is that you use only two values (rich, poor), (full spending, no spending) etc. Governments have the power to overtax their economies and by and large most of them do. Obvious nonsense. Looking at the debt crisis it is obvious that most governments UNDER tax. They have no problems coping with the extra cash, the expenditure of which quickly becomes regarded as a necessity.
