Absolutely not. The only FAIR tax is to take the budget of a given government
and divide it by the adult population and send out bills of an equal amount
to each constituent of that government. You work from the assumption that
police and defense are defending property. Some of us work from the idea
that they are defending freedom and liberty. Under your plan, those who
pay more, deserve more and thus should be given preferential treatment.

The job of taxes should never be to discourage people from improving
their own financial stability. Taxes should be another example of "equal
treatment under law."
