But there's no end of fallback diversions. Handy exhibit, from the WSJ:

Bush adviser and prof at the famed Amos Tuck school of bizzzennnesss -- obviously both a scholar and a gentleman -- suggests that to reduce inequality, Uncle just up the payroll taxes on the above median wage workers and eliminate them on the bottom half.
Nice, eh? It's right out of the Greg Mankiw school of Mephistophelian grand rube bargains. One hopes even that Solomon of top decider-presumptives, St Hill, won't jump on this poison class wedge remedy. Doesn't seem likely. She might possibly just restore the status quo ante -- slap back on the Clinton 200k-plus tax rate structure, and administer a little whack to the top -- what, 5%? Not exactly the merit-class breadbasket, but surely its hubris elite.
What none of 'em will do is whack the donor class, with reversals of all the "incentivizing" tax cuts her hubbie and George Jr gave the capital-gains club.
Ahhh them one-percenters -- they sure can rock!

by innovation and risk taking
and opportunity grabbing

30 years ago before
ipods and genetic engineering ....

even for substance abusers
hope for a cure grows everyday
and the next generation ...our childreeeeen ???
especially for those born after 1977
