Everyone needs to pay their fair share

means EVERYONE! It's not like the Pubs stand a chance at losing the %45 parasitic vote, they do stand to gain from the working %55 though.

When you take a stand out of deep conviction, people know. They may not even agree, but they ask, "Do I want someone who is willing to take a hard stand and someone I can trust to do that when the chips are down?" They want that. ~BARBARA BOXER
