The problem with this is that even if people pay the same rate, taxation "hurts" those already established and wealthy less than those who aren't. Taxation will never be "fair" even if you make the rate people pay the same, in fact that is the quickest way to make it completely unfair. The issue here though is that if you try to make people pay various different rates based on how much they have or make, that too is not fair. So how do you make it fair? Making the rate equal isn't fair, likewise having different rates isn't fair. Is it even possible for taxation to be "truly fair" for everybody? Honestly, I don't think it is.
