I always liked the basic income plus flat tax combination - simple and fair. Due to the means testing of various aid programs the tax system if often regressive and always confusing for low income earners. Exactly the opposite of what we should all want.

Well, different people mean things that are too different by "fair" to really treat it as an objective quality here without being more specific. But I agree that such a system has appeal.
