All taxation slows down the economy, and limits spending on goods and services. How much slower does each individual have to make the economy for it to be called a "fair share"?

I'm really not interested in hearing what their version of fair is. As it is, the people who pay the most taxes get the least social benefit for it.
Don't believe me? Just consider one thing: Education.

Your premise that all taxes are a drag on the economy is absolutely false. How many cars do you think would have been sold had tax dollars not been used to build roads. How many appliances had tax dollars not been used to build hydroelectric dams?
Tax dollars build infrastructure, maintain competition, ensure consumers are not taken advantage of, set standards of safety for products and the people who manufacture them.
Government spending greatly reduces the boom/bust cycle.
You need to stop trying to learn economics by watching Bill O'Reilly.

With Corporations hiding money in the Grand Caymans banks, are they paying their fair share?

"fair share" is like "fair profit", a definition depends on the perspective of the individual affected.

i dont' agree with your premise that all taxes are bad and bad for the economy.
for instance, how much commerce would take place if we didn't spend tax dollars on roads and schools and plows to remove the snow from the roads and police to keep the insane element off the streets etc...

I think a 30 percent flat tax across the board has been proposed.

I don't believe that the democrats have put a ceiling on this "fare share" tax.
