Fairness is taxing everyone equally, then folks are free to earn as much as they want with out government leaches stealing a percentage of anything.
Everybody paid almost the same amount when our current tax code was enacted October 3, 1913. The tax ranged from merely 1% on the first $20,000 of taxable income and was only 7% on incomes above $500,000. In the beginning, hardly anyone had to file a tax return because the tax did not apply to the vast majority of America's working citizens. For example, in 1939, 26 years after the Sixteenth Amendment was adopted, only 5% of the population, counting both taxpayers and their dependents, was required to file returns. Today, more than 80% of the population is under the income tax. Creating a similar tax code will result in the same oppressive mess we have today.
Let's see, that's all of 0.001% of Federal expenditures.
Wow, let's risk the entire US economy going into the tank for that little piece of tripe!
