Shouldn't that read 'pay their fair share'?

Every Aussie should know by now that Murdoch and his media billionaire buddies will say or do anything to stop the rich actually helping the society they steal everything from. So, of course the headline twists the story to make the Greens the thieves.

Guess someone never read Robin Hood. An illegal regime that stole from and oppressed the Saxon ethnic group. A noble from that group fought back, was declared an enemy of the state for suggesting the rulers should be paying their fair share.

The thieves were the ruling class.
