Basically, taxing and spending specifically discourages and encourages specific types of behavior instead of having a broad range of affect?

I was of the thinking that raising taxes on those who had the highest incomes would both be an easier to absorb tax burden for those who could afford it and to give smaller firms a chance to compete with larger firms. I have a major problem with the entire Republican/Austrian/neo-liberal idea that taxes should simply be treated as fixed costs, even if its simply based on the assumption that money should be kept in the hands with those who make it.
