Tax rates, broader base, loopholes... (freaking yawn). It doesn’t matter where the $800B comes from - - it is another $800B the scumbag Democrats will use to grow government and buy votes. Somehow, taxes are always raised and collected but the spending cuts (ie., slower increases in spending) never actually happen.
Again, if the tax BASE is broadened, ie, people NOT currently paying will be made to pay,then your taxes will NOT increase but the cash flow to government will increase. This is the Boehner plan.
As to whether the money will go to deficit reduction is another argument entirely.
