Why should “rich” people be charged more to help pay for “poor” people?

Why should “well” people be charged more to pay for “chronically ill” people?

Around here property taxes pay for all your municipal services. Everyone gets their garbage picked up once a week and police and fire department protection, but the people with more expensive homes pay more for the same services.

Imagine if the cashier at McDonalds had to ask you how much your home was worth before he could tell you how much the Big Mac was going to cost you.
