You missed the important point. You can argue that laws are passed which benefit some people more than others. That's called "politics". But, when it comes to the fundamental duties of the government, we all benefit equally. So, we should all pay equally. This isn't difficult to understand, but it does require thinking outside of the usual paradigm.
Take the Federal budget, divide it by the number of people in the U.S. and territories, and everyone pays their "fair share". Easy-peasy. Done.
