As much as I dislike taxes, the federal government has the authority to raise funds for lawful purposes. But there is no Constitutional authorization for it to promote redistributive “fairness.”

I’ll take justice over fairness every day and twice on Sunday.

Well, if it’s only about fairness, then Obama DEFINITELY should support 999. Because it’s VERY fair.

Fairness—my butt. It’s about playing some sort of crooked Robin Hood and turning the middle class into begging peasants.

Our little Kenyan buddy is nothing if not fair. You’ll recall he went to Harvard, so he’s got to be, like, really really smart and also fair.

That's the argument that drove the debt ceiling debate to the edge.

Obama was never about increasing revenues, as Boehner learned in the "grand bargain" negotiations.

The honorable Gentleman is saying that he would rather that the poor were poorer, provided that the rich were less rich. That way one will never create the wealth for better social services, as we have. What a policy. Yes, he would rather have the poor poorer, provided that the rich were less rich. That is the Liberal policy.
Margaret Thatcher

Fairness—Hey Obama, I don’t think that means what you think it means.

Fair would be the flat tax. All citizens treated equally under the law.
