You can solve the problem of "fucking the poor in the ass" by setting up a tax-free boundary. For instance, the first £10k of your income is yours. Then 10% is taken off the remainder.
It's fair, everyone is treated equally, and nobody gets fucked in the ass. Oh yeah, and scrap VAT whilst you're at it. The only tax that should exist should be on the income of people (and via them, corporations).
