Why should the price of the services of government be based on income?


Why shouldn't they?

Because if everyone stopped working, worked less or made less income the
government would be "underfunded". It's complicated and open to corruption
and special interests. Charge everyone the same flat fee.




If so, then one would expect better government services for those who pay
more.

So those who pay higher taxes get better government service.


Been in a court room lately?

The rich (who pay little or no taxes because of "loopholes") can get better
lawyers because they can afford them. I don't see the causal link to taxes
paid.



That's fair?!


Depends on who you ask, iddenit?

Of course. That's why "equal" is better.



BTW where's Peter Lorre?

Reeek! Reeeek! He's in court!
