An individual will pay more in discretionary spending toward taxes and so would the collective group.

"Tomorrow if they changed tax law and you had to pay more in taxes (percentage wise to earnings/wealth) while Bill Gate got to pay less would you say it would be fair? "

Under the law, heck yes!! Sometimes what is "fair" isn't necessarily what is popular.

It all comes down to your perception or definition of fair.

Then why not treat ALL income equally?

For our income combined, we would be affected.
