American Blood

One might say that American tax theory is based on American blood: those who 'give' the most blood pay the lowest tax.

Another way to be fair is to say that he who benefits most, pays the most tax. He who benefits least pays the least.

For example doesn't Uncle Ben benefit more than most of use. We subsidize the growing of the rice he uses. We subsidize the railroads he ships on. The people he gets rice from, get irrigation water
at a reduced rate.

What's fair?
