Oh please, do any of you have an ex-roommate from law school whose sole job at KPMG is to figure out how corporations and rich executives can avoid tax obligations. I do (and he earns over 400k a year with no billable requirements to figure out how to avoid the tax code).
Last I saw, no “middle class” worker has that kind of firepower to figure out how to avoid taxes.
If you think that folks aren’t going to work hard because of tax implications maybe you should examine the current state of the economy and accept the notion that folks are going to work hard to save their jobs. (Or are you taking McCain’s position that we have stable fundamentals right now?) Or is that the new Republican byline–unemployment is the first step to being an entrepreneur?
Maybe you should wonder why Chris Buckley left the National Review or why David Brooks just wrote an article stating that the Republican party is now the anti-education party. Or how David Frum got his ass handed to him by Rachel Maddow a few nights ago. This isn’t the party of Reagan 20 years ago.
