So when the Democrats, in 1993, said, ``We have now fixed the Tax Code; we have now changed it so higher income individuals are going to pay more of their fair share''--I think that was the term--and that ``we have a fair Tax Code''--I heard that over and over again--what the Senator is suggesting is that we are going to make it even fairer by shifting the burden even more, and the argument on the other side is that isn't fair enough. Their argument is that we need to increase taxes even more on higher income individuals.
