This is a colossal failure on the part of the Biden admin (and antitrust hawks generally). The government stopped Spirit from merging with JetBlue over concerns about ticket prices. So instead the low-price company will just shut down instead. A total faceplant.
This chart makes me laugh every time I see it.
The UK, France and Italy are poorer than the poorest US state, Mississippi. Canada and Germany are poorer than the second-poorest US state.

The term "fair share" means nothing to me because it is always subject to someone's opinion.
Fair share...according to whom?
And it's a ploy to direct focus on who pays what vs. the actual issue-- government overspending.
As a tax day reminder, the wealthy don't pay their "fair share" of taxes, they pay MORE than their fair share.
The top 1% of earners pay more than 40% of income taxes paid and the top 10% pay 72%. The bottom 50% pay around 3%. (via Tax Foundation)
We have a SPENDING problem.
IRS: you owe us taxes
Me: how much do I owe?
IRS: you get to figure that out
Me: can I just pay what I want?
IRS: no we know exactly how much you owe but you have to guess the number too
Me: what if I guess wrong?
IRS: jail
Happy tax day!
