Shaker it's not a matter of being fair It's a matter of it applying to everyone equally ! I understand the point you make, but it is irrelevant, if you & I were to go out to the Pub, then the Footie, then off for a bag of chips & we drank & ate the same we would both spend the same amount as we've both been taxed similarly. Now if you'd gone out with GBP 50 & I GBP 30, we both spend GBP25, your left with GBP 25 & me with GBP 5. That is just a fact of life (Some will always have more than others) But in relation to taxes we've both been equally affected.
So I'm sorry I can't agree with the logic of your comment although I do understand your premise.
