Is it a tax directly related to your income? No, but logic would lead someone to believe that if you make more money you are likely buying more things which would mean a greater amount of your earnings would be going to gst than someone who has less money to spend.
Higher income taxes, not higher taxes. The GST is a value added tax that is not applied to all items. It has zero relation to my motivation to work. Taking money out of my pocket before I see it with an income tax has a very, very different effect.

Don't declare you're using logic. You're not. You're just fabricating nonsense to support your opinion.
