Frankly speaking, I think that taxation is a good thing, rich people pay more, and poor people pay less. But the key question is whether the taxes received can be used for implementation rather than being corrupted.
Where do rich people get their money? They sell products and services to the poor... when they are not defrauding the poor, that is. So, where do they get their wealth that they hand over to government in the form of taxes? From the poor.
