A fair tax takes into account the fundamental forces inherent in capitalism, in which having more wealth/capital makes it proportionally easier to capture an ever larger share of society's aggregate wealth.
Capitalism isn't linear, so taxes shouldn't be linear.
If you have $10,000 the only way to make more money is to sell your labor. If you have $10,000,000, you can literally just sit on your ass and put your money to work for you, and make a few orders of magnitude more than the guy with $10,000.
Both my wife and I, separately, were born with more money than most people will ever make in their lives. It's like peasants trying to ensure the aristocracy gets to keep their wealth generation after generation while you work their crops.
