And the people who pay most of the taxes get to pay more taxes, while the people with negative effective tax rates get a bigger negative effective rate. That isnt a win.

This SHOULD be a big non-negotiable "no" in all scenarios.

It is not, but it should be.

Until we find a way to expel them all from the party they would rather tank everything before their pork gets denied

There’s a large chunk of “the rich” that get none of those. There are people you might see every day paying nearly 7 figures in taxes right now.

Taking every dollar >$1 million wouldn't even close the deficit, much less offset any debt.

America doesn’t have a revenue problem, … it has a severe spending problem. And that is where the corruption resides.

If you pay 7 figures in taxes and don’t have top CPAs to exploit every tax loophole hole you’re a retard

So exactly the opposite of what Trumps entire campaign was based on? In month 6 no less?

You don’t know what you’re talking about. There are no loopholes. We are talking about people who don’t qualify for many tax credits and live in higher end neighborhoods, not wealthy gated estates. They are people you would consider very well off but not wealthy.

I’m all for raising taxes on the Uber wealthy. The 1% of the 1%.

But it won’t change the deficit picture.

We need to tax the poor more.

Define "the rich" in terms of our tax code.

Because Govt will not slow spending

Any additional revenue usually means more spending.

As long as the loopholes in the tax code exist, it won’t. Trump agreed about this and bragged about it in a debate with Hitlery.

It really is all about spending. It HAS to be cut, and it will be painful, but necessary, for many.
