'Fair Share' Chatter?

At least ten times a month, I hear the impression of 'fair share' uttered.  Prior to the 1990s....I just don't remember it.  I don't remember it on the farm....I don't remember it in boot-camp....I don't remember it while running a 1.5-mile track in 95-degree heat.

Somewhere in the 1990....it started to come up.  

In the 2008-to-2016 era?  I probably heard it on CNN or NPR at least twelve times a week.

Here's the thing....it's not definable.  You can't show where it really works in life.

Presently, I'm of the mind that we need reverse-fair-share....meaning you need to cut your budget, before I accept some fair share 'BS'.

Fair share chatter not working on me anymore?  Yeah, it's come down to the point where the expression is some quote you'd hear from a 8-year old kid.
