[quote=SK in CV] It kind of, sort of, sounded like a good idea until he was asked to name specific deductions. He wouldn’t. He couldn’t. And the reason is that these deductions don’t mainly hit the top 1%. They hit mainly those between the top 1% and the top 3%. The 2%ers. Those earning between $250k and $400K. Anything to save the really rich from paying more. If they can’t get the poor to pay more, maybe they can get the almost rich to pay more.

Exactly. Paul Krugman wrote – and I agree with the sentiment – that GOP is prepared to throw moderately wealthy under the bus to protect the super rich !!!

This fight really shows whose side GOP is truly on. Until this moment it was easy for them to hide it.

To their credit, Dems proposal at least make super rich pay more than moderately wealthy ( who in turn pay more than middle class who pay more than poor … )
