Hi John Mikes
Here's the dilemma:
Unfortunately, any system -- with the exception of the oil-rich
countries
(where fairness would seem to be hard to define) --
that is completely fair is unsustainable. Capitalism,
like it or not, is the only known way to increase a
country's wealth. Fairness decreases a country's capacity
to grow. Darwin would agree.
Cuba and the former soviet union and now europe
are good examples. They all failed in trying to be completely fair
or are in the process of failing.
I think that capitalism + democracy is the most fair system.
Today, unfortunately, capitalism has been perverted by minorities
which build money on fears, lies and catastrophes, and that is very bad.
They are clever, and have succeeded in mixing the black and non black
money, so that the middle class and the banking systems have become
hostages. Those liars are transforming the planet economy into a a
pyramidal con.
Lying is part of nature, like cancers and diseases. Defending
ourselves against liars is part of nature too.

Brent,

I believe there is a difference between (adj) 'fair' or 'unjust' and
the (noun) 'fairness', or 'consciousness'.
While the nouns (IMO)燼re not adequately identified the adverbs
refer to the applied system of correspondence.
E.g.: "Fair" to the unjust system. (I don't think we may use the
opposite: "unjust" to a 'fair' system in our discussion).
As I tried to explain in another post: the 'rich' consume MORE of
the country-supplied services than the not-so-rich and pay less
taxes (unfair and unjust). Certain big corporations also pay 'less'
than the system would require
(in all fairness - proverbially said) ordinarily.
Semantix, OOH!

It is a 'trap' to falsify the adequate taxing of the 'rich' as a
leftist attempt to distributing richness. It does not include more
than a requirement for THEM to pay their FAIR share - maybe more
than the not-so-rich layers (e.g. higher use of transportation,
foreign connections, financial means, etc. - all costing money to
the country) in spite of their lower share in the present unjust爐
axation-scheme.

And PLEASE, Brent, do not even utter in econo-political discussion
the word "FAIRNESS"!
So is it OK if I use "FAIR" and "unjust"?
