The problem is there is no way to tell if they are fair or not unless the free market determines them. The free market our country was founded on is superior and absolutely efficient (some would say mean-spirited) in figuring out the balance between supply and demand. Any other system begs for inefficiencies and actually rewarding inefficiency and lower productivity and lower standards of living.

The communist system was tried and it failed miserably most notably in North Korea and the former Soviet Union. Why did it fail? Because instead of a class of rich people, now the Government was the substitute for the former rich class. Nobody was willing to work basically as a slave to somebody else. Communism is slavery with a different name. You do a lot of work and somebody takes the products of your labor in return for low quality housing, low quality food, rationing, mass shortages of consumer goods, little choice in products etc. When you work and somebody takes your hard earned money away from you in high taxes or 100% confiscation in the communist system, THAT IS SLAVERY! Don't you people understand this?
