Ah, I see, its a matter of 'fairness' despite the fact that the rates will yield approx. 83Bn dollars (in year one and almost certainly go down there after) means little, until the gop agrees to tax people because it presents the appearance of 'pitching in', the dems will not compromise?
So, the carrot isn't effective tax policy to collect more revenue, but, what will be almost a useless exercise in axe grinding.
I have to say I find that ridiculous.
you are representing a false premise, in any case- I do NOT sppt. rate hikes, I support tax reform, with or without entitlement reform, one has little do with another.
It really doesn't matter a damn what you think. The point is if you want to reform entitlements and get agreement that is the price you need to pay. And if you right and it is a small amount your more obstinate than I believed and you define the problem with the Republican Party. They put the interests of the one percent over the country.
This is just not true at all. Although I am not and have never been a republican, I am a fiscal conservative that does not support a tax hike on the top 2% AT THIS TIME. I don't give a flyin' fuck about the rich guys, but I don't see a way to grow the economy without letting these guys get richer. Why? Cuz these are the guys that put up the money for startups and business expansions. And is you sock it to the rich, they will not put their money to the most productive uses for our economy. There are too many other places or too many non taxable ways to invest where they can get a better ROI after taxes.
