when i go with a friend to get pizza and we each eat half pizza, we each pay one half bill, fair share. why then have we seen some concept of "fair share" in tax change to fit budget needs? "fair share" is fixed amount but i hear no fixed amount proposed.

I mean if my friend is Jeff Bezos or Rhianna, I might be a little surprised if they suggest we split the bill.

Then here we have core difference: I would have no such suprise. I think there is some fundamental difference in our understandings of fairness.

If it was Jeff Bezos, I wouldn't be surprised.

Because in public services everyone is worse off if someone doesn't get a good care - the pizza is infinite.

The whole point of taxes is solidarity. If you don't understand basic principles of being civil then good luck in your life.

Then you make a new contention that you want more money past a "fair share" because you have the policy goal. Fairness has not its definition set by government budget needs. What mean you here with "solidarity"? What has this to do with "civility" or its lacking?
