Do they receive double the services from the government? NO, instead they are being forced into playing Robin Hood for those that produce NOTHING other than to suck off the government (meaning our) teat.
So, back to what is fair. The upper-income people pay out more taxes, which the fed government spends on things like National Defense (an Army, Navy etc). Now suppose that Russia conquers the US and takes everything from everybody in the US as spoils of war. Now ask oneself, "Who lost the most" the rich person or the poor person? I would say that the rich person lost the most (has the most to lose) - therefore it IS FAIR AND RIGHT that the rich person pays MORE (more taxes) for the US Army, Navy and etc than the poor person.
