It ain't no use, we're headed for disaster
Our minds say 'no,' but our hearts are talking faster
--Donnie Iris
A favorite word of the Left is fairness. People need to pay their fair share. People need a fair shot. Naturally, in all such rhetorical contexts, fairness implies gains for Leftist interests.
It should come as no surprise that hearing the word fairness drives reflexive reactions in some folks to protect their wallets.
To justify governmental policies driven by fairness arguments, people on the Left have several questions to answer, including:
a) How do you define fairness?
b) Are there other definitions of fairness?
c) Why should your definition of fairness be accepted over others?
d) How do you justify the use of force to impose your definition of fairness on others?
Framing answers in the context of the Constitution would also be insightful.
