As for fairness, the idea of 'fair share' is determined by who? Fair should mean equal. After all, who is using the social services, etc.?

"fair" to me Torone means that the rules are pretty clear and in black and white. it means that i take every possible advantage i can of every possible means to lower my taxes.
"fair" to me means that i dont do anything that anyone else cannot.
"fair" to me means exactly this
"Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands."
