Because it is ultimately the rich who drive the economy.

Not true. It takes a balance of investors/workers to make things work most efficiently.

If you want taxes to be fair, go to a flat tax with a sales tax on top of it.

If you look at all taxes collected by all the different levels of government we're already close to a flat tax. Having a flat tax on income and a sales tax would equal a regressive total tax burden.
