I'd prefer to see a flat tax for incomes above a certain level with that level fully indexed for inflation. I am not agreeing with your characterization that such a tax is regressive. The Rich will pay far more in absolute dollars than will The Poor.
Best of all: no deductions, no loopholes, no gameplaying, no thousands of pages of tax code which only serve to ensure full employment for tax attorneys. I would also abolish withholding and have people write a check to the government once a year so that they can fully appreciate its cost.
Yes, there are certain essential services (military, courts, police...) which I fully support being funded by taxes. You and I most likely disagree as to what they are.
