re : everyone paying the exact same tax amount :

Despite the fact that it's absurdly impractical and can't happen...

PD, would you not consider it "fair" that everyone pay the same amount? If not, why?

It's more practical than what we have now.
If we kept the system as similar to the current one as possible, all that would change is that a company would break up the $1000 or $5000 or what not over 12 months and withhold it like it does now.

As for what's not fair about it, it's not fair that some people make more than others, therefore we should tax them down to the same level as everyone else -- but make them stay just as productive as they are now
