You have missed the main point of taxation in the era of the nanny state. Everyone knows that raising rates does not automatically lead to more revenue, but politicians don't care. Since they know what is best for everyone, they use taxation to reward and punish, to pick winners and losers, to engage in social engineering, and in general to make life "fair." They see taxation as the great leveler.
