Any progressive tax is unfair. Income or otherwise. It adversely affects economic growth because if everyone pays the same, with a few exceptions, and you eliminate many of the loop holes, we could significantly receive more collected taxes. And that would be an opportunity for economic growth.

You would also recieve more collected taxes if you have a progressive tax and you eliminate many of the loop holes.

Just like you can lose weight if you eat my new herbal supplement and exercise more.

Maybe, but I wouldn't participate in either of your schemes to make you more money.
