Whereas I think charging one person 20% and another person 50% is unfair. Is the person paying 50% using public services that much more? Maybe there's an argument to be had for a forced charity fee, but that can be accomplished with one flat deduction across the board (say 50k). Again a simple rule that applies to everyone equally. H&R Block will hate it. A flat tax is simple, more fair, and efficient. Plus it's pretty hard to dodge when there are no loopholes / 50 different forms to fill out and process.
