Organized labor isn't crazy about Jason Furman, but he's still a far cry from what you'll find on the other side of the political aisle

    Progressive Tax?

    "Progressive Tax reform?" A clear definition of that term is about as forthcoming as a definition of "windfall profits" and "fair share" is. But I suppose a 'feelings based' tax code is one most liberals would prefer. That way every perceived social inequity can be addressed by fiscally punishing those who have amassed 'too much money'; another phrase without a clear definition, and 'redistributing the wealth' to those that have done nothing more than show up with their hands held out for their 'fair share'. But if we're going to be 'fair', why not just call it "The Class Envy and Hypocrisy Redistribution Act" Castro would love it! .....I'm sure It'll work out just fine,............. right up until they come for Mr Leonard's paycheck..........
