IMHO the tax solution is for "everyone" to pay the exact same amount of

Every one means a family of 5 pays 5 times what a single person pays.

You're contradicting yourself. What you're actually saying is that a
single woman with no children would pay X dollars while a single women
with one child would pay 2X dollars, and the child would pay 0 dollars.
That's three people, each paying three very different amounts.
For everyone to pay the exact amount, a 40 year old CEO making $2
million a year and a 3 month old orphan would each be required to pay
the same amount in taxes.
