Because taxing is low on low incomes while high on high incomes. And that you do not know before starting to work which king of income, if any, you will have. that's the big equity advantage of redistribution.

Nonsense. Those who invest a lot into education (and yes, I would say this requires having a lot to invest---but people unwisely taking out student loans in the US prove that this isn't necessary) in an appropriate field will typically have higher incomes. So by taxing them more too, society is double-dipping.
