I don't balk at paying my income taxes.  In fact almost every year I have overpaid and receive a refund (Yes, I know that's dumb).  But I get irritated when this "fair" word gets thrown around.  Tax wealthier people more than those with less wealth because that's where more money is.  Don't feed me this "fair share" crap.  "Fair" is in the eyes of the beholder.  Taxing is a necessary evil, just some taxing authorities are a little more evil than others. On the one hand, taking a wealthier person's hard earned money to pay for the costs incurred by someone who hasn't worked as hard (or at all) isn't "fair" to him.  Someone who works six days a week at two minimum wage jobs with no benefits and earns less than a government employee who averages 35 hours a week (taking into account annual, sick leave and paid holidays) doesn't think that's "fair" either.  

So tax us what for what you think is needed...and if you are not re-elected, don't complain that was "unfair".
