I assume/hope scarmig is being sarcastic here? ;) But yes historically (middle-ages and before) head-based tax systems were considered fair. Anyhow, non-progressive taxation and market-based health-care is a waste of human capital, not to mention that it leads to grossly inhumane situations. People that don't get that should look at the stats and/or study some basic economics. For example, how does the UK spend only about half as much on healthcare, and still has a higher life-expectancy than the US?
