I don't have a problem with paying my fair share for taxes. However, my fair share does not include taxes for somebody else who isn't paying any taxes. My fair share also does not include paying taxes so that the government can play Robin Hood and give stuff to people who the government thinks don't have enough stuff.

Exactly. There were articles in the news over the past year about how only 46% of the people paid any income tax. That means there's some 54% that aren't paying their fair share.
