You may not understand what your asking, in provision and "tax" are 2 different things. Provision is a purely accounting (GAAP) term. it has nothing to do with IRS tax really. It isn't even part of IRS vernacular really.

An Income Tax Provision basically has 2 components; Deferred Tax Provision & Current Tax Provision. (Some ancillary accounting lines may have to do with credits and tax effect of state tax deduction for example).

The total income tax provision is the combination of the 2. If current tax provision is higher than deferred tax provision, than the deferred tax provision is a tax benefit. A very common thing that happens when tax accounting requires a provision be recorded for income recorded for GAAP before it is income for tax.

Should the rich have to pay a greater portion of their income in taxes than the poor why or why not?

The rich do in fact pay a higher percentage of their income in income tax, because we have a progressive income tax based on six different tax brackets, where the higher your income is the higher a percentage tax bracket you will be in. Depends on which country you're in. In the US, this is not the case.
