That would mean just the opposite. Those who make the most money
utilize less of the social services and other benefits awarded by
society. So those who utilize the benefits given by society should
pay the most.


That is absolutely false. Those who make the most place the most
demands on things like police protection, roads, airports, etc.

Plus, there is utility theory to deal with.

For way to long, the mantra has been to socialize the cost

Uh, government functions are a form of socializing costs.

and
privatize the profits. This habit needs to be turned on it's head.

So you think the government owns all the money. We all know what that's
called.
