Define Fair Share (examples, money, government, laws)

[Winter_Sucks]

The top 1% of the wealthiest Americans own 90% of the country's wealth. I don't feel bad for rich people if they get taxed at a higher rate.

And not many feel bad for you if you have to be accountable for yourself.

Actually 10% of the population owned 71% of the wealth and the top 1% owned 38%.

Distribution of wealth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But the question was, how much is fair..paying taxes on wealth/income or paying for the servies one uses?

So you want to cut taxes for the rich and raise them for everyone else?

It's kind of like an ice cream shop charging more or less for two scoops of rocky road based on your income. I'd imagine that customers might have a problem with that.
