I don't terribly mind paying taxes. But I figure following the model of capitalism, it's meant for everyone to act in their own interest & look for the lowest tax bill, and that's how you arrive at what your fair share of taxes are. For example, finding all the deductions you are legally entitled to, or choosing to buy an electric car because it reduces your tax bill. That's all behavior we want. So I guess you could say I'm happy to pay my fair share- but not more. Now, structuring everything such that a particular taxpayer's lowest tax bill is actually "fair", is not easy, especially with lobbyists in the equation.
