because if you tax the rich, they're still gonna be filthy rich.
if you tax the middle-income or low-income, they might end up significantly poorer which could drastically affect consumer spending.

The issue is more that the tax code favors the rich and gives them legal loopholes to avoid paying an equivalent share of their income.

the spending behaviors at businesses owned by the rich that resulted in them getting rich in the first place

not that you need a reason to want someone else to pay for a program that makes your life better--that's just self-interest
