Fairer tax

The main problem with income tax is that it is progressive. This is unfair for two reasons, firstly, that tax is immoral because it goes against the individual property rights, but secondly that it is a tax voted for by the majority but imposed on the minority. Most peoples' argument for why tax may be fair is that it is possible to vote in a democracy, and is therefore possible to vote for a reduction in taxes, however, what the clever politicians have done is to create a system where the majority will vote to keep taxes progressive and high because they are not subject to them, they can see that some people are in poverty and they believe the answer must be higher taxes, so they impose taxes on the minority of high earners. Those high earners, being a minority are always unable to vote in sufficient number against the tax increase and so taxes creep ever higher, and become ever more progressive. What would be much fairer would be to have a flat tax whereby everyone would feel any increase (or decrease) in taxation; therefore you have a majority voting to impose tax on itself, though not perfect it is much fairer.
