I hear what you’re saying. But I’m suggesting we go for the tax breaks that affect the wealthy, not the average homeowner or small investor. Let’s focus our efforts on the class that have been telling us that we need to be taxed more: the billionaires like Warren Buffet, the Hollywood fat cats, the tax exempt foundations and endowments that give the ultra-wealth an unfair advantage, the media that stand ready to support every tax increase that any Democrat proposes. Let’s have them pay their “fair share.”
If you REALLY wanted to cause a financial collapse, raise capital gains taxes.
It would stick it to old Warren real good, but everyone else would suffer.
