Oh yeah Elizabeth Warren's going to get some campaign ads out of this.
True, unfortunately. In a better world Scott Brown would get to use this in his advertisements ("Look! I opposed the Buffet Rule and Warren supports it! Vote for me!"), but Massachusetts politics doesn't quite work that way...with hope, yet.
Wait, what? In what world would running on opposition to a popular idea be good?
A world where total subservience to moneyed interests would be considered a positive good, presumably.
The way the idea of taxing the extraordinarily wealthy seems to upset some people (who presumably wouldn't be impacted by the tax) always amazes me.
