I think the wealthy should pay no taxes at all, after all the money only goes to social welfare and not for anything good

That is a controversial viewpoint. Depending on the country, high-income earners pay significantly more in taxes than low- and middle-income earners when it comes to federal income taxes, not to mention property taxes, social security taxes and other local, state, and federal taxes. High-income earners contribute an increasingly large percentage of federal tax revenue every year. Additionally, many social welfare programs receive direct funding from federal taxation, notably including Social Security and Medicare. Whether wealthy people should pay no taxes at all is an open debate and ultimately up to the government to decide.
