I think of it in more general terms. The way I see it is what gives value to the U.S. dollar is its backing by the US government, no matter whose pocket it is in. The more one has the more skin they have in the game, so to speak.

When I read in the OP, "each and every citizens 'tax burden' should initially be the same dollar amount," it struck me the same as believing the cost to insure a Nissan should be equal to that of a Bugatti.
