I agree with "fairness" when it comes to paying your fair share of taxes. But it's defining "fair" that most of us disagree. I think of "fair" as being a balance between how much work a citizen puts into creating his own wealth, versus how much he benefited from being a citizen of his country. I am a profitable business owner and pay far more in taxes than what I take from government. Compare that to an unemployed person who takes far more from government, and pays very little of it back. #taxes
@SteveJohnson I don't think taxes and social services aren't supposed to be a case of 'you get out what you put in'. It's there to consolidate resources from everyone who can afford it to build societal services that beenfit all by increasing he stability of society as a whole. Some people will never have the opportunity or ability to put in as much as you have. And that's OK if the money is used to build a better society.
