What exactly do you want to be different and how?

I don't know how to fix it but I disagree with your premise. I believe the poor and middle class pay a higher percentage of their incomes to support our government (probably somewhere between 40 to 70 percent) because most of the taxes in the distribution chain are passed down to consumers and they spend most of their income on goods and services.
