From a piece on CNN:
"A minimum 30% tax on million-dollar incomes won't do much to eat away at the nation's debt, it won't create jobs, and no one expects it to get through the Democratic-controlled Senate, much less the Republican-majority House."
So what do you think? A good rule with no support? A misguided attempt by people who really don't understand the economy? Is it now just the President's turn to play some election year politics?
Personally, I think it started out as the second and moved to the third. 60% of Americans disagree with me (Gallop: 60% support it, 37% oppose).
