I'm quite amazed it's taken this long. Of course, it hasn't actually happened yet either. If fair taxation alone were in place, the standard of living would be significantly better in pretty much any country.
Economically, the fairest tax system is one that does not affect people's behavior. The most straightforward means of doing this is a head tax, but that's not politically feasible. The best thing to do is a sales tax on price inelastic things.
What makes it "fair", exactly? I don't think most people would see it as such.
