The only broad based tax system, I feel will benefit all and is fair and equitable is the VAT system. (Value Added Tax). 120+ countries used this system so it is not new. You only get tax when you purchase goods and services. Your income is for savings. (no IRA, Kehoe, 401K etc to deal with. Save $ on administration.) If your wealthy you buy more and pay more tax. If your poor, you spend less, thus less tax. Simple as that! No tax forms to deal with, less administrative overhead.
Of course our representative don't want this as they will pay their share. It's not going to happen.
