I really think I don't fully understand you here. If "It's absurd we are not being hosed equally" comes from "It's absurd some people are rich enough to ", then, "Why are we being hosed at all" means, "Why do we pay taxes at all?" Are you implying the government could just keep minting debt without any tax base?

No. You're getting closer to asking the right questions. The universe of possibilities is just much broader than the public discourse has been led to.
