Exactly what is the definition of "Fair Share?"

[miles]

Liberals love the phrase. Obama was spewing it today. I think it means taking from someone who has more than you.

It's difficult to properly verbalize. Ultimately, yes it is taking from people who have more from you.

In this case however it's more accurate to say people who benefit most should pay the most. Quit yer bitchin.

Like having a fair trial.

Sounds good unless you are guilty, than the last thing they want is a fair trial or justice!

It the communist (now called "communitarianism") way ... to confiscate the personal assets and income of others to give to freeloaders gaming the system.

Sure. It's quite simple. Anyone who pays his own way is paying his fair share.

The rich pay their own way and for that of others as well.

For example, Bill Gates has paid the way for thousands if not millions of others. By creating Microsoft, his company employs thousands (or more) directly which means he is paying them a salary and thus he is 'paying their way'.

The programs produced by Microsoft provide many others the capacity to create their own business, e.g., free lance programmers using various MS programming languages. MS Office has provided the tools for many employees of other companies to be more productive.

James J. Hill (Northern Pacific RR builder), Andrew Carnegie (steel industry), John D. Rockefeller (Standard Oil) all paid the way for a multitude of people they employed to work for them. They set in motion the means for thousands of other Americans to prosper.

Stealing and redistributing their wealth is the collectivist way (liberalism/progressivism) of 'leveling the playing field' and trying to create their utopian wold in which equality of outcome is the only terms in which they can understand equality.

The real problem with their ideology is that it is not possible to elevate everyone to the achievement level of these giants of industry, creativity and innovation thus the inevitable result is that the implementation of their utopian fantasy is the destruction of the most able and productive.

Fair share means I have more than you lazy bastards. Now give it up.

 

[Dazzle1]

Than lets cut govt salaries in half or more and cut pensions retroactivly for all non essential goverment workers.

Than they would be paying their fair share.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

The bottomline for fairshares are the esteem people have and get for their stuff. Conflicts arise when get/have are out of balance.

It's how much Miles' wife gives him so he can cheat on her in cheap motels.

A_J's corollary #11, “The New Age Liberal defines a fair share of taxes as, ‘When you pay your taxes, you have no more money left than anyone else has.’”


Otherwise, you've obviously "benefitted" too much...

Tyler Palko should make exactly as much as Aaron Rogers and Drew Brees...



He tries really, really REALLY hard to be a good Quarterback and should be paid according to his intentions...

I don't really know what the complaint is about. The income gap between rich and poor is steadily widening. So the opponents of 'fair shares' are winning.

Friedrich Hayek, of course, believed in strong but limited government, including the provision of a safety net for the ill, disabled, elderly and unemployed. So I suppose he must have believed in some sort of 'fair share', although he never clearly defined what that would be. I take it as followers of Hayek you would agree with this limited 'fair share'.

Coach Todd Haley: Hey, Tyler. Can you come over here a second?

Quarterback Tyler Palko(looks up from braiding third-stringer Ricky Stanzi's hair): Just a second, coach. I'm still working on Ricky's French braid.

Haley: Tyler, it's kind of important.

Palko: You're right, coach. If I don't get this done before the quarter starts, he's going to have a half-done braid on national television.

Haley (looking at Romeo Crennel): Romeo, little help here?

Crennel: Sorry, Todd, got my hands full here (looks down at his hands, which are literally full of Polish sausages).

Haley (looks at Kyle Orton, who has been soft-tossing a football for the entire first quarter): Carl, get in there.

Orton (under his breath as he slides on his helmet): It's Kyle ... or Neckbeard.
