Through discussions. Debates. Elections. Hooray democracy!

  We've been discussing, debating, and voting about taxes and wealth distribution for hundreds of years. If the solution were so simple, wouldn't you expect the problem to be solved by now?

    Well, no. This is a problem that will never be solved, because it's not a problem with a single "correct" solution. Each new generation has to hash it out for ourselves, the kind of society we want to build. The work is never done.

      So the OP says what society decides isn't fair, and you say that fairness is decided by society. It seems like there should be a less paradoxical way to reason about this.
