Describe the two basic philosophies of taxation fairness

The two basic philosophies of taxation fairness are the benefits-received principle and the ability-to-pay principle. The benefits-received principle argues that those who received the benefits of government spending programs ought to be the ones who pay for those programs or public goods and services. The ability-to-pay principle argues that the rich ought to pay more taxes because they can afford to do so.
