Fair?
It is a percentage of earning. It is completely fair.
If you make 100 dollars, and pay 10%, you pay 10 dollars in taxes.
If I make 1000 dollars, and pay 10%, I pay 100 dollars.
I don't see you having a problem with me paying your entire earnings in taxes.
The problem you seem to be having is that things are fair, but you want them to be adjusted in favor of a specific party. What you want is not equal taxation, you want others to carry more of the burden, and why? Because they have more than you? In fact, because they actually make more than you, they already pay more of the taxes. They contribute far more than you do, but you want them to pay more? Fair my arse!
It isn't healthy to live your life in such envy.
You know what would be completely equal and fair though?
Replace all taxes with the old head tax. This way EVERYONE pays EXACTLY the same. That is what truly equal and fair is, but that isn't what you want. It is astounding how greedy folks are these days when it comes to this. This system puts the weight of taxation on the top earners and you guys whine and cry about how you want more. That is greedy, selfish, and underhanded.
