In Zeev's Honor, Plan the Trade and Trade the Plan

[byankee]

Yes gt, "fair share" is/has always been determined "politically" and all you have to do is look at income tax rates over the years. "Fair share" is always changing and "class warfare" is certainly alive and well. Occasionally, however, those with the gold do not make the rules.
That situation will be playing out now. And as you say, life ain't fair and it will be full of the 1% whining about how unfair their situation will be.
Also, there is a huge difference between those with $1M income and those with $50M and hence the push to keep rates from rising and get the revenue from deductions-being pushed as throwing mere millionairs under the bus to protect the very rich (50M income).
