I appreciate all the thoughtful tax discussion, but I probably should have chosen a less contentious example. This was a specific comment I had made awhile ago on Reddit that was down-modded severely. What was odd is that I took no stand on taxation itself; I had simply asked the OP to explain his definition of the word "fair" which had been used to support the validity of such a tax policy.
