Again, noone on this board seems to be able to articulate a clear answer this question: why do you want to raise taxes on the poor and low income elderly?
You are advocating for a much more regressive system in the name of "fairness" but it turns out to be much more punitive on the poor as they end up paying a larger percentage of their income in taxes under your proposed tax regime.
Everyone paying the same percentage is not regressive it’s fair. If this was the case, everyone would care if congress raises or lowers the percentage, it’s about accountability.
Currently many people don’t care what government programs cost because it doesn’t cost them anything. It has incentivized the government to spend way more than it should, they are basically buying votes.

Except it’s not though and the fact you can’t see it speaks for itself. It takes far far more of a poor persons income to support themselves day to day than it does a wealthy person. Simply saying everybody pays the same percentage doesn’t take that into account and is, yes, regressive and unfair.
