A lot of people generally are in favor of the real-life version of this, which is various forms of tax-funded safety nets, like unemployment insurance and welfare.
I've heard that the overall average tax burden is 25% regardless of tax bracket right now (with regressive taxes like medicare and sales tax balancing progressive taxes like income tax).

Of course, a lot of that is spent on other stuff.
