I'd look at taxes like insurance. The more you're worth the more insurance you need, the higher your premiums. We need a strong army to protect our wealth from poorer nations who might want to come over and take it. Obviously the wealthy have a lot more to lose and ought to pay more. The system works great for the wealthy. They have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, in maintaining domestic tranquility and promoting the general welfare. They have more to lose if the system fails.

Sounds like "an offer you can't refuse". I think the ocean is enough deterrent to 99.9% of the poor. The rest will have to eat lead.
