I'd like to see damn near everyone pay something But if we're going down the road of "fair"...

What exactly does "fair" mean? - Would taxing those that have more income and giving credits to those that don't to the extent that all Americans have the same amount of after-tax income no matter what they do or produce then be the "most fair" end state?

Is it fair that the top 1% pay over 30% of all federal income taxes?
Is it fair that 50% of the population pay no federal income taxes?
Is the death tax fair?
Is it fair that Social Security benefits are taxed?
