re : everyone paying the exact same tax amount :
Despite the fact that it's absurdly impractical and can't happen...
PD, would you not consider it "fair" that everyone pay the same amount? If not, why?

I consider a tax based on a % of income slightly less fair than a tax where everyone pays the same $ amount.
In a fair world, that's the way it would be - but we don't live in a fair world. Right or wrong, the government requires more money than can be raised under such a method.
