 Is it fair for everyone to pay the same tax, where poor people pay $2,000 tax and rich people pay 2,000 tax?

I guess.  Wouldn't work with how much money the government currently spends though.

So the fair thing to do is to charge everyone the same amount of tax?

Then why are you arguing for arbitrary percentages then?

Answer my question first.

Is it fair for everyone to pay the same price for a playstation 3?

Yes.  The PS3, like all goods, should be the same price regardless of who purchases it.  Rich people shouldnt (and for practical purposes could not) have to pay $75 for a can of pop and poor people shouldnt pay $50,000 for a mansion in Beverly Hills.

So you think it is fair for everyone to pay the same amount of taxes as along as the government has enough money to spend?
