Little more money back into the FnF pockets

Hours after the pre-dawn passage of a $1.5 trillion tax cut, President Trump suggested for the first time ... that he would consider a higher corporate rate than the one Senate Republicans had just endorsed," the WashPost's David Lynch and Damian Paletta report in the paper's lead story:

"On his way to New York for three fundraisers, Trump told reporters that the corporate tax rate in the GOP plan might end up rising to 22 percent from 20 percent."

Why it matters: "Moving the corporate tax rate up by 2 percentage points could raise $200 billion, money Trump might need to try to satisfy the concerns of Republicans frustrated that the plan does not reduce top individuals' tax rates enough or of others such as Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), who argued that the bill should do more for low-income families."Rubio tweeted: "For days heard that anything more than 20% corp rate would be anti-growth & catastrophic. Less than 12 hours later 22% is now an option?"

Yeah, but which planet?

Who are the 'boots on the ground' pushing for average joe? I'm all for the average joe plan, but no one even knows for sure who wrote it. Who's going to put this in front of Mnuchin and Watt and seriously advocate for it? At least with Moelis, you have Blackstone and Paulson, guys with credibility and access to the administration.

Average joe puts commons at $60/share right? While I'd love that as a common holder, the chances of average joe being the plan implemented is basically zero. You need heavy hitters like Paulson lobbying for it, and we don't have that. As logical as it may seem, that's not how government works. If Ackman pushed for it though, then we can dream.

Tim Howard even says Moelis is the reasonable, logical way forward. You'd be making 3-4x at current levels with Moelis.
