Sure, the guy making $12 an hour pays the same tax as the guy making $120. Seems fair to you.
Sure it's fair because the guy making $120 will buy more things.
Not really. I'd mostly stick with buying second hand. Or do you plan on making everyone a tax collector?
Then why doesn't that happen here? Plenty of stores around, plenty of people buying new items.
Same can be done with taxes in general. Those who benefit the most, should pay the most.
The people that benefit the most are the poor people because they take advantage of every social program available to them. The rich don't need social programs, and they benefit the most due to their hard work and investments--not the government. Yet they do pay the most anyway.
