No...it's righting what is already wrong.
You see the "rich" as people that can afford to pay more, and you're right, they can...but why should they? If you can somehow convince me that is equality, then your sarcasm holds water...until then get off your poor me soapbox and think of someone other than yourself...think of what is "fair".

ps- if you only make 10k a year, you're damn right you need a second job, or a better first...you shouldn't expect others to pay the way for you. (which is what you are suggesting with your sarcasm)
