This is complete and utter nonesense. The flat tax is the only fair tax. If you want to have segmented tax rates, then the poor should pay a HIGHER tax rate than the rich as they consume a disportionate amount of the services. If the poor can't afford the taxes then they should get better jobs, it is as simple as that.

Or, than the taxes should be lowered and the government should get out of as many things as possible. A system with only 20% taxes (most Western powers are around 40% to 60% taxes right now) would generally lower taxes and increase the quality of live for the vast majority of people. The lower the taxes, the better.

Not really
The countries with the highest living standards, and the lowest gap between poor and rich, are also the countries with the highest tax rates.
