Yours to me seems more of a long-term aspiration.

I don't agree with a double-income tax regime then a 50%+ tax rate ... so I support yours in theory, but it's MASSIVE loss in tax revenue in a short time, without a plan for what will have to be cut to make up the difference.

I could support a more phased version of your proposal, but I would NEVER support Jbrase's proposal - if I think your amendment has financial risks, his is a kamikaze mission.

JBrase's amendment would have to be complimented with a massive decrease in federal spending which, in turn, would have a detrimental effect on the economy in the short term. Like I said in the past, I am in favor of closing out loopholes and deductions and lowering overall rates, but that's only once the economy is on a firm footing and the budget is in check. Things like that much be done over time, not all at once.

Unless it has been withdrawn, I beleive Jbrase has an amendment pending still on this bill.

^ Yes, and judging by Duke's response, it appears he isn't accepting it as friendly. So I'm opening a vote on the following amendment. Please vote aye, nay, or abstain.

Such a drastic change, needs to be phased in and/or have offsets.


So Nay.

This has enough votes to pass. Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.
