The only FAIR exchange, barter, sale, employment or tax is one WITH unanimous CONSENT among the two or more parties directly involved, regardless of the terms and conditions accepted.
Conversely...
The only UNFAIR exchange, barter, sale, employment or tax is one WITHOUT unanimous CONSENT among the two or more parties directly involved, regardless of the terms and conditions accepted.
The popular notion for "fair tax" requires legislation without unanimous consent, then imposition by force of law under threat of government's gun and prison. Show me one "fair tax" advocate/supporter who accepts the terms for more "fair taxes" (levied upon others of course), while accepting these same terms and conditions for his/her next purchase of a cup of coffee, concert tickets or pair of jeans, or their next swap for vintage vinyl records or used furniture. There isn't one aforementioned advocate/supporter that would be agreeable to those arrangements, that is, under force or threat of another legally or illegally, for it is quite contrary to their (mine too) daily decisions, actions as well natural sense of ownership, freedom and ethic.
The matter of greed or self-interest is of no concern here, it is a matter of consent, thus running starkly counter (if we were honest) to our passion at least, reason at most, for what is "fairness". The inconsistent application of any definition of fairness should be and is indicative of the blatant unfairness.
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
