What is a big deal to me is that the current system is dishonest and unfair. It is dishonest because it provides loopholes for the few. It is unfair because, even if there were no loopholes, it does not tax in proportion to income.

What do you find fair about taxing in proportion to income? Does income level reflect level of benefit from government services? Should income level determine the cost of other goods and services on a sliding scale?
