If someone mentions 'shared sacrifice' just laugh at them it ain't going to happen.

The aim of the cat-food commission

Reduce federal spending and increase revenue

The aim of the tax cuts

To give these savings to the rich.

"Down & Out In Paris & London"
'We know that poverty is unpleasant; in fact, since it is so remote,
we rather enjoy harrowing ourselves with the thought of its unpleasantness.
But don't expect us to do anything about it. We are sorry for you lower
classes, just as we are sorry for a, cat with the mange, but we will fight
like devils against any improvement of your condition. We feel that you are
much safer as you are. The present state of affairs suits us, and we are
not going to take the risk of setting you free, even by an extra hour a
day. So, dear brothers, since evidently you must sweat to pay for our trips
to Italy, sweat and be damned to you.'

2. Who exactly are we sharing this sacrifice with?

It's certainly not the rich. I guess they mean we are sharing the sacrifice among ourselves.

Austerity for the masses, tax cuts for the rich.
