- 'fairness'??? Somehow, I don't think that means 'get what you pay for,
- pay for what you get', which would be my definition of a fair tax system.
-
- Equity? another loaded word.

- Ability to pay? Sounds like "from each according to his abilities, to each
- according to his needs" (was that Lenin? Or Bob Rae?)
