Are you saying the poor should pay more???
I think that has more meaning, when it is voluntary; Taxes (the tithe) in the Old Testament where still 10%
One area, that I'm surprised I've never seen brought up, is to make fine's and penalties a percentage of income. Make a speeding ticket hurt Drew Breeze, as much as it does, the guy who works for minimum wage.
No, what I meant was that a wealthy person contributing more to society does not necessarily mean they are contributing much relative to the amount of money they possess, compared to a less wealthy who may also be contributing to society.
