I never said taxes are supposed to fix the free market. Although i guess in a way they already do(see corporate welfare and tariffs). Sorry, i went off on a little tangent. I think taxes should pay for government operations. Although since the market has proven consistently that it can't provide for everybody, maybe the goverment should play a role in making sure everybody has enough to survive.
PS.You're right that gates isn't the best example. Maybe a better example would be of sam walton, or rockerfeller.
