People are equal.
Income and wealth are not equal. There are poor people who work two jobs and there are rich people born with a trust fund who never work a day in their lives. I don't measure the value of people by their wealth, and I don't believe that is the principle that the United States stands for.
There is no contradiction in saying that each person deserves the same vote, but that poor people should pay the same percentage of taxes as the wealthy. They are two totally different issues.
