According to an Emory U study, monkeys (can't remember which kind) do understand fairness. Monkeys given treats for their effort react negatively - refusing further cooperation - when they see a fellow monkey get twice the treats for doing the same labor.
Now we need to see how a monkey reacts when politicians take away 1/2 of their treat while taking 1/4 from another monkey to see if "progressive" taxation is "fair".
Try setting one monkey up in a luxurious cage with as many treats as it wants and an extensive training program to teach it different kinds of labour.
Set the other monkey in a crappy old cage with bad food and no training.
Give both monkeys the chance to earn more treats by performing the labour tasks the first monkey was trained on.
See if they think it's fair.

Chicken skin is a great compliment to the chicken proper if it's roasted properly. Otherwise, it's ikky.
"Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency
"That’s the future of the Democratic Party: providing Republicans with a number of cute (but not that bright) comfort women." - Adam Yoshida, Canada's gift to the world
It doesn't show that monkeys understand fairness. It just shows that they are greedy little buggers, who'll steal your hat!

Isn't chicken skin called Cracklin? or something... I've seen Jaque Pepon fry it and put it on salad before... My lil' sis loves chicken skin, I don't care much for it...
Monkeys are awesome, they aren't stupid like Otters or Squirrels
Tell me how its fair when tax revenue from the poor exceeds that of the rich? The rich get a lot more from the state then the poor do, so its only 'fair' (again, the use of that word) that the rich pay more.

The rich do pay more
rich get a lot more from the state then the poor do
They do? Are there special roads/services/police stations just for the rich? I guess I missed that... Do you ever stop and realize that the rich actually put more into the system than the poor do?
Life ain't fair, and neither are taxes (no matter how much), sitting around living with this type of attitude will get you know where... Become rich and then we'll see what you are complaining about.
