"The... shall choose their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the United States."
Yes, it is true that <span>Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson influenced Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal ideas, since all three of these men considered themselves Progressives. </span>
<span>(1) No two people agree on just what would be "fair".
(2) Even if there were agreement, the people with political clout have no reason to want a "fair" system; they want a system that benefits them. There is a reason the Republicans have been pushing through tax cuts for the rich.
(3) The tax "system" includes all the taxes: local, state, and federal. If you want the entire system to be fair, it has to be changed as a whole, not piece by piece. And that would make it hard to start and hard to maintain (any change in tax rates would also have to be coordinated) </span>
