No, you're looking at this like an egalitarian. If you only make $30k/yr then that's all you deserve. If you earn $1m/yr then that's what you deserve. Poor people aren't any more special than rich people such that rich people should subsidize poor people. If you don't want the taxes to hurt so much then earn more money. If you can't earn more money then clearly you aren't very valuable to society and should just die or stfu. Most poor people deserve what they get because they don't add very much value to society. In a lot of cases these people can blame their parents for even having them.
Just because you exist does not mean you are entitled to anyone else's resources.

This would be true in a fair world. This isnt it. See: DEI.
Just because you exist does not mean you are entitled to anyone else's resources.
That leads to pure capitalism and slavery pretty much.

Youre contradicting yourself. Saying you aren't entitled to other people's resources, but people should contribute to society somehow. You didn't think this much through, did you?
Huh? You aren't entitled to other people's resources but if you fairly trade something of value for their resources then that's fine.
Yes, the government is a barrier to equity. I agree with that so in the current society where we have social programs and government regulations, many people steal other people's resources which is why we need to lower taxes and lower regulations. Taxes must be the same for all people regardless of how rich or poor they are. Just because you're poor doesn't mean you ought to pay less taxes. That is not fair at all.
Other point to consider here is that, if you don't pay taxes, why should the government care about you?
A big part of the reason that the poor classes have no political influence is that they don't contribute. The middle class did but have now been gutted and are again marginalised.

In your world a company ends up with a monopoly (buys all rival) and then massively increases prixes
Not at all. You can have my world and laws that encourage competition.
