Fairness

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/15329004

'Fairness' is hardly a good enough policy. It's more of an idea than a policy. If we can't implement it specifically, then it's not concrete enough for me to back. Sure I agree that things should be fair, but the devil is in the detail. Exactly how we can achieve that should be the subject of our aims, rather than to put forward broad concepts for how things should be run.

nope, exactly the little doors in the details, the everywhere fixed bonds are what making the laws and rules and policies rubbish... the only way of fairness is in the free decision making based on common sense

One group of people paying 50% income tax whilst another only pays 20% hardly seems fair. But if everyone paid the same amount of income tax £2200 per head would similarly be unfair on people who decide to have kids. Even a flat tax rate of 40% on income means that people who work harder and longer for the same pay rate have to hand over more of their cash in tax than someone who works less. Each of these options is 'fair' but which you think is fairest is an individual personal moral judgment

For the moment, we might define the word as ‘a label attached to all of the efforts being made to make the world a better, cleaner, nicer, more just place’
