Lefties, help me understand your concept of "fair" taxation.

Please tell me which of these two basic principles would be "more fair".
Vote by upvoting
A) Everyone pays the exact same rate. Let's say everyone, 100% of the population, regardless of income, pays a flat 15%.
Vote by downvoting
B) 40% of the population pays 100% of the taxes and the remaining 60% of the population pays absolutely 0% of the taxes.

I know you gave two options . My opinion is that our government has proven that it is not a good steward of the money that we send it . It pisses it away and comes back asking for more . This past year saw the largest ever revenue for the federal government. We don’t owe them anything else ! And I am on the right so I guess this wasn’t aimed at me ??

C. No taxes and let Americans fend for themselves. If they cannot care for themselves, put the welfare and help back in the church’s hands and go back to giving families in need the essentials. Milk, cheese, bread, ground meat.
I guarantee you more folks would be on their feet and in the work force.

There should be no taxes on our wages… as we should own 100% of our productivity.
Second, we should end the Federal Reserve because the Constitution grants the government the right to print and coin money.
Now, the feds have to tax citizens to pay interest on the money it borrows from the federal reserve….

While i like the idea of #1 i would like some low income reduction in % at the least 15% to me is gonna mean less than say 15% to someone making minimum wage.

Neither is fair. Every citizen should pay the same amount or it should all be fee/usage based.

Then you and the rest of your morons can volunteer yourselves to pay above 15%. Problem solved.

There is no such thing as fair taxation. Taxes are stolen from the middle class and wasted on those who don’t pay it to make the poor obedient and the rich more powerful.

Obviously A) should be the correct answer.
I would add that capital gains should be taxed at the same 15%
I would also add, that food and medicine should NOT be taxed
