Using Weasel Words To Fight Or Defend Weasel Words ... What IS 'Fair Share' Anyway?

The 'rich' paying some 80-90% of all federal income taxes is somehow 'unfair' to the rest of our citizens but approximately half of Americans paying no federal income tax at all (in spite of countless benefits derived therefrom) IS 'fair'! The key, relevant dictionary definition of 'fair' is 'just'. What exactly is 'just' about either of those two facts about taxes? What kind of nonsense are these arguments anyway? Where's the logic or common sense in these questions or the arguments surrounding them, really? Answer: it's non-existent!!!

Andrew McCarthy untangles it pretty effectively:
