I think fairness is a crutial element in laws.

There's no such thing as fairness. Not objective fairness. That's why our laws and personnel practices are based on due process, which is the best proxy for fairness as we can get. If you read the commentary following Galt's proposal, way down the line someone says that the commentary illustrates how everyone has different ideas about what is fair. That's one of the reasons for the proposal, to get away from having to deal with fairness issues in taxation. Getting a consensus on fairness is an illusion. More like delusion, actually. The only way to get anything accomplished is disabuse the designers of the notion that fairness can be achieved.
