What's it going to be: Tax cuts to raise revenue, or lower revenue to force spending cuts?
  • Talk to the French

    Their recent runup in marginal tax rates at the high end has created a new and large tax expat community in Switzerland. So instead of creating additional revenue, it's created less.

    See also the British tax expat invasion to the US in the middle 1960's when the UK's top marginal rate was 98%.

    And let me tell you, that if they don't fix the AMT, I will leave the US. And I'm middle class. There's just no reason to be sucked dry for no return.
