I know this a really old thread, and I agree completely with all the other comments, but I wanted to mention another facet of Fair Share. I think of Fair Share as a natural extension of the first two ethic (Earth Care and People Care). If we truly care for people will will share the surplus that we have as so many others above have eloquently addressed. In addition, caring for the earth mean returning a fair share of our yields back to the ecosystem (composting, mulching, etc.). Of course most of us in this forum do this anyway, but may have never associated the activities with this ethic.
