It eventually boils down to what is the principle underlying that taxation. If the principle is "I need your money and I am going to take it any ways because I am the government" then any logic goes and I feel that is where the current atmosphere is.
The question we should be asking is why should we pay anything to the government. Us government by some estimates spends $24B every single day. This is just spending what took many folks years and lifetimes to earn. What value will the citizens get for every additional dollar that government gets ? My bet is we will get increased regulation, mafia styled politicians and overall misery.
On other hand every extra dollar you leave in the hands of likes of Bezos or Musk will go into fueling more innovation, industry and job. I think it is a terrible idea to tax the very fuel that increases the size of your economy.
