even more than that - use Obama’s campaign promises against him. Agree to 10:1 spending cuts to tax increases & give him Buffett. Let the expiration of the payroll tax cuts take hold 1/1 and then force meaningful social security reform. Let the Bush tax cuts expire and then tie to tax reform that broadens the base and gets the 47% to 30% so people understand “free” is not “free”.
Yes, payroll tax expiration is key, that will broaden the tax base all by itself. Don’t let Obama extend it or turn SS into welfare.
