The only fair taxes are sales tax, flat income tax, and import tax. Sales tax affects all, including the rich, as well as corporate taxes. Food and medicine should not be taxed. All other things such as clothing choices, vehicle choices, etc, stationary for corporations as well as corporate jets.
Flat income tax. Everyone pays the same regardless of income. No deductions, which eliminates excessive IRS bureaucracy.
Import tax. This should be on all imported goods that can be made in the US. If it can't be made or grown in the US, then don't tax it. Tropical foods could be exempt that we can't grow here. Also titanium mostly comes from Brazil or Canada, so no import tax. This can be easily worked out.
The flat income tax should not be above 10%. The rich have enough deductions to pay less tax than the average person even if their tax rate is 35%. So no deductions, just flat tax. States should also go this route with less than 5%.
Property should not be taxed. Even if you own the property outright, you still have to pay property tax. There should also not be an inheritance tax. This is why the family farms disappeared. A farmer's family owning 200 acres, but has $200,000 worth of farm equipment will loose half of it paying taxes, thus the children have to sell it off to pay the taxes. Unless the farmer sells it to his kids two years before he dies. This is not fair to the familes. Thus the rise of cooperate farms and paper companies, in Alabama at least, buying them for growing pulp wood for paper products.
The only constitutional way the taxes should be temporarily raised would be war or national emergency.
