Taxation and the middle class

[tomh009]

We should pay fair taxes as a population, but nobody should be forced to pay more because they have more. The wealthy and the less wealthy all use said public services on more or less equal terms, therefore we should be paying an equal share for it. And if the government needs more money to run the country they were entrusted to correctly run, then they should figure it out. If it can't do that, dissolve it because they are clearly a bad government.

OK, so you are opposed to progressive taxation. Technically, if everyone should pay the same amount, then the federal flat "headcount tax" should be about $9000 per person (man, woman, child etc) regardless of income. And maybe $3-4000 more for provincial tax. Do you think this would be a better solution than progressive taxation?
