[quote=enron_by_the_sea][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.[/quote]
Enron, it doesn’t matter .Both parties always throw the moderate wealthy under the bus..They just call it differently.
Whenever government needs to tax more, they just love to hit this group…
And while “wealthy means $200k for someone single”, it also means $250k for a couple….I don’t know why, but I guess maybe some people think women shouldn’t have a meaningful career after they are married but just be a stay at home mom..(and no I don’t think that way)…But regardless, it also means a LOT of you slightly above middle class families are gonna get shafted… Like I’ve been saying all along..Really rich people…Not gonna get hit by this at all..
