I think I like the "kpp_kpp_kpp_kpp" Tax better (but it sure is a mouthful). As for 'that's life', it was some combination of your own choices and /or affairs beyond your control that put you in that particular circumstance. Those things were also often beyond control of the government (though they might think otherwise sometimes).

Paying taxes on consumption makes no judgement whether it is 'good', 'bad', 'fair', or 'unfair' - nor should it. The "kpp_kpp_kpp_kpp" Tax is just that - a tax to raise revenue for the government - it takes no notice of your social circumstances ... and that's quite a good change from the present system which pretends to be the Mother's Milk of Happenstance throwing funds out willy-nilly. There's nothing 'fair' about that, either.
