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.
I suspect that in Vosem's "better world", the Buffet Rule would not be so popular. The Buffett Rule is a gimmick first and foremost. Rather than enacting an alternative Alternative Minimum Tax, we need to simplify the tax code.
