(the truth is, NO ONE would support it if the tax increases effected them too...)
Joe pays 15%
Jack pays 10%

If we are to make things equal across the board.. Should Jack pay 15% & Joe pay 20% by giving them both a 5% increase still causing Joe to pay more and Jack lesser percentage? Is that fair or should they both instead pay 15%?
