re: #60 wozzablog

America is in favor of higher taxes on those earning over a million - support is in the high 60% in polls.

Even “Republicans” (generic ones) are by and large in favour of higher taxes for millionaires… the red meat base (the 20% dead enders) are being insane tho

No question. It just doesn’t generate as much revenue as you’d think (which Oregon recently discovered) and certainly not enough to impact the deficit in a meaningful sense. But still, now’s not a good time to feel sorry for the poor millionaires.
