Those who benefit from public spending should bear the burden of the tax that pays for that spending.
Two principles:1.) Benefits
Principle:
Equity vs. Efficiency 公平与效率
3.) Efficacy and Fairness of Taxes

You can see this has limits…

Two principles:
1.) Benefits Principle:
Equity vs. Efficiency 公平与效率
3.) Efficacy and Fairness of Taxes
2.) Ability to Pay Principle :
Those with greater ability to pay a tax should pay more tax.

Maybe they can pay more then others!
![Page 18: Taxes Intro part 2 SFLS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5879c3d31a28abb42a8b5b0d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Maybe they can pay more then others!
But if you worked hard to earn it, is it fair the government takes MORE away from you for doing a good job?

So this might not be the most fair either….
