What is lacking in the entire tax debate is an examination of the tax code itself. I don’t beleive that anyone is against paying their fair share of taxes.

Underlying the opposition to the tax increases is a strong and very justifiable suspicion that the very wealthy will still be able to afford the experts who specialize in the dodges that exist in the labryinth of our tax codes. Assuage that, and most will still grumble that it may be too high, but everyone is still in the same boat, rather than a rowboat for some and a 200 ft yacht for the others.
