Inherently morally superior? That's complete bull. Every moral system has a different attitude towards how much people are expected to "give." That's just plain false that one system of taxation is morally superior to another. Under some moral systems, a regressive tax system would be morally superior to a progressive or flat tax.

Name one.

The closest to it ever put into practice was that everyone should pay an equal amount.  Which isn't really regressive in the true sense of the word since the poor and rich are still paying the same amount.

Either way... it's your opinion that treating people differntly is morally superior?

Edit: FYI the Fuedal ages used Progressive taxation.
