If said tax is fair... it should be the same for everyone, regardless of income above "$X".
That will only work if there is a generous basic income in place.
The cost of just living, eating, heating and the like are similar for the rich and the poor. The ability of the rich to avoid tax is a lot better than the poor. The rich are also a lot better at getting money out of the public purse than the poor.
