The quoted post shows a simplistic view of fairness, and avoids understanding the difference between equality and equity.
We don't all give the same cos we can't.
We don't all get the same cos we don't all need the same.

If taxes were fair: You earn $100,000 per year and pay $30,000 in tax. Your neighbor earns $1,000,000 and pays $300,000 in tax. Your neighbor is paying 10X more than you. If taxes were fair, you should both pay $30,000, since you both receive the same government services.
