I have a problem when people call tax burdens fair. There are so many ways to define fair its rediculous and has no solid meaning. Also, on that note, its not logically possible to tax a business alone. Any tax a business pays must by necessity be passed on to consumers, else the company goes out of business. You can get around it by only taxing profits, but then you open the giant loophole of all value that's not profits, like capital, income, tax free expenses, etc. There is no "fair" way to do that makes everyone happier. |

Well I have a problem with people who think fair doesn't matter.

Fair is like porn, it's hard to define, but everyone knows when they see it. It's genetic, even monkeys have a sense of fairness and refuse to cooperate when they're being treated unfairly. If that's not enough meaning for you, look harder.

Sure there, look up the veil of ignorance; people think more fairly when they don't know which side of the equation they'll come out on.
