I don't consider higher taxes on the rich as "paying for me". I consider it to be their paying for the priviledges they have gained in society.
I also do not know how much the rich should be taxed. I do know that they should be taxed at a higher rate than someone making less money.
As for the figures - I do not believe that eliminating the majority of the infrastructure we currently use to enable our tax system, will we gain enough savings to lower everyone's taxes - but even if that were true, I certainly oppose lowering the taxes of the upper class to something lower than the middle and lower classes.
