8. I'm guessing you are talking about "...their fair share in taxes..." as
the federal income tax burden via IRS. I'm guessing this because everyone pays license fees, property tax, sales tax, etc.

If you are talking about a fair share of the federal income tax burden, there are many who not only have no federal income tax liability at all, but even get 'free' money through programs such as Earned Income Tax Credit. Since they don't have a federal income tax burden, and get free money at income tax time - are you going to send them to prison also. Paying nothing at all is not a fair share, is it?
