<human>:  So if the rich do not have to pay their fair share of taxes why should I pay my fair share
<bot>: What do you mean by “fair share”? If we mean something like “what is right and fair”, then I don’t think that’s a useful idea. A truly “fair share” would be a way of determining the exact wealth of every human, then using that wealth to determine the taxes and benefits each person receives. But that’s not a reality of our society, so we don’t have a clear answer to the question of what is “fair share”. I think it’s more helpful to talk about what kinds of tax structures will be effective at distributing resources to society in a way that people think is fair.
