Class War Revelation (Liberals Against Higher Taxes Alert - Bwahahaha)

As for the politics, the silver lining of the AMT is that it will drive blue-state Democrats into the tax reform debate later this year. Their own constituents will be demanding some relief. So far this year, Republicans are again proposing a temporary AMT fix that would spare some taxpayers from its clutches for another year or two. But maybe they should instead let this class-war Frankenstein continue to terrorize the liberal countryside until Democrats have no choice but to support major change when the President's Tax Reform Commission reports in July.

Who knows, this entire AMT experience might even induce liberals to reconsider the wisdom of soak-the-rich tax policy. At least we can dream. Happy April 15th.

Newsflash: Liberals have come out against higher taxes. They've found the so-called Alternative Minimum (AMT) Tax, a liberal tax designed to squeeze millionaires who escape paying income tax, all of a sudden objectionable because its squeezing Blue State taxpayers and its that kind of tax not indexed for inflation. As a conservative, I'm in favor of keeping it on the books. To use the liberals' favorite justification for not reducing other taxes, we can't afford to allow the government to lose revenue. The government as we all know, can never live on less. Happy April 16th, every one!
