Not fair because if you have someone with an annual income of $100,000 at 10% they pay 10,000. That would impact their daily choices. If you have someone making 1,000,000, that's $100,000 in tax. I do not believe that they would have as much of a challenge achieving prosperity with $900,000 as someone making $90,000. And then what about the multi-millionaires and billionaires... I have to believe that some form of progressive tax is the most fair way.
