Flat Tax is for for Flat Earthers

How can anyone think a flat tax is fair? Even if it is 5% the same inequality and iniquity obtains. 5% of £200 and 5% of £100,000 ain't the same .

The only fair tax - if that isn't an oxymoron - is for all government services (and there shouldn't be many of them beyond maintenance of armed forces, police and courts) to be costed and everyone pay the same.

Rich and poor alike pay the same for a loaf of bread and that is the only fair way tax should be levied. All egalitarianism and socialism should be removed from tax policy.

A local sales tax like they have in the US should be introduced in the UK with the abolition of VAT.
