If your looking for fair, then a flat tax would be more fair. The rich would still be paying a lot more. Also lower taxes would be more fair because people could keep more of their own money.

The problem with that is you can't fund our bloated government on a tax rate that the non-rich can afford to pay. So the government goes after the rich, near rich, and those hoping they on their way to being rich (high income, but only recently, modest accumulated wealth) much harder than what would be fair.
