In Ancient Israel every citizen paid the same amount, half a shekel.

We know the wealthy purchase items that are usually more expensive, i.e. a BMW or a yacht or platinum jewelry and therefore will only affect the wealthy. However, those who pay no income taxes will also have some "skin in the game" because they will also be paying taxes and hopefully will be more interested in the government using their money frugally and intelligently .
