FAIR stands for "FAIRNESS & ACCURACY IN REPORTING" Meaning they're attempting to be a reporting watchdog

Yeah sure, and 'USA PATRIOT Act' stands for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism."

You take for granted that private property and capital accumulation is inherently "fair".

Many people do, it is the organizing principle of most modern civilization after all but that does not mean it is indeed inherently "fair" or "good".

Not contributing fairly to the society that allowed one to accrue a large volume of wealth is also "unfair."

"contributing fairly" sounds good but is meaningless. There are too many competing definitions of "fair."

"Contributing fairly" has meaning when compared to "no contribution" or "negative contributions".

We can argue about what fair is all day but it hard to say that someone who accrued $1B has contributed fairly. Warren Buffet acknowledges as much in his famous quote about his secretary paying more in taxes than he does.

Let's not let perfect be the enemy of good when it comes to equitable contribution.

Of course that was fair.

All of the tricks Buffet jumped through to get his taxes that low were intended to encourage that behavior, whatever it was. So his reinvestment of profits in the company, investments in clean energy, contributions to charity, profit losses due to forgiving debts owed by people in disaster zones...whatever it all was.

Someone making laws figured all of that was "fair."

If someone followed the given rules, dealt fairly and openly with others and made 1 billion dollars they did it fairly. The huge amount of money does not make it unfair in any way.

See, my definition of "fair" is followed the law and didn't deceive others. Obviously yours doesn't agree which kind of proves my point, doesn't it.

You can see it as a subscription fee for the service of upholding private property rights instead.
