Do you believe that you should get a tax break for your mortgage? Or that if you invest all of your profits (legally) back into the business that you should pay taxes on those profits?

Your use of the word "fair" is the misnomer here and it's used by illogical people talking about taxes. They are taxed at "x" rate, they (like you) use the tax code to invest in capital that the guvment feels helps them grow their business, ergo...they allow them to take that off their profits.

Would you rather they NOT re-invest their profits so that the guvment could tax them more and they would hire less people?
