The problem is that the American public has been trained to shun any kind of a tax hike, whether or not the country actually needs it, or even in spite of the fact that raising taxes can actually HELP the economy by preventing huge bubbles like the one we just experienced. Imposing a tax on the particular kind of securitization that was going on would have made this problem much less bad than it is right now. You are preaching to the converted here. I would prefer if we could just hike taxes and be done with it. But that is unfortunately a politically unacceptable move. |
I think you'll find people less accepting of stealing from charity.
Even democrats hate this plan.
