This whole concept of taxes being fair, or needs to be fair, is sometimes foreign to me.

You have me lost. You don't like paying taxes because you feel you pay too much and it is unfair to you, yet, you say that the concept of taxes being fair is sometimes foreign to you.
Look around man, our country right now is built on debt from people who made certain wages, and now those wages are declining fast.
Gas prices are just the tip of the iceberg, everything is going to go up, vendors will have to raise prices because of transportation costs, products made with petroleum and petroleum by-products are going to go up. Inflation is coming and it is going to come in hard and fast and our current wages will not handle it. Nor will the country because there is no freaking industry anymore to pull us out.
Who do you propose to pay taxes when the family of 4 will be barely making it? Who do you propose to buy houses and keep new construction going when noone has the jobs nor the wages to buy?
It's far more than just taxes man, the economy is getting ready to take a serious dump and the CEO's are making fortunes and getting taxed far less than the country can afford.
You want lower taxes but then you fight against rebuilding industry, tariffing imports, Small Business Loans, fair wages, and so on. We can't afford it, we either need to build a working class with decent wages and tariffs and have government offer SBL or wait for the economy to crash and tax the rich far far more heavily than they are now to pay for the lost taxes from the lower class, because the middle class will be non-existant.
