I admit it, I have no idea what a fair share is in this regard.

What are y'alls thoughts on what constitutes a fair share?

(Maybe this is a dead horse topic. I guess if so then it won't be a very long thread.)

The left doesn't have an answer, but ultimately they'd probably like everyone to have equal amounts of income and wealth. Of course, their utopian ideal will never exists, but that doesn't halt their redistribution schemes. Personally, I'd like to see government at all levels operate on a budget of ten percent of GDP.
