If we’re going to raise taxes on “the rich” then you’d have to raise it on unearned income. Also, let’s do away with all tax loopholes for Hollywood.

Yep-- no more capital gains or carried interest special rates-- reduce the corp tax rate and make up for it by treating all income the same regardless of origin.

This will hit the Trial Lawyers Assoc. very hard because they structure much of their income as "dividends" or "interest" to pay the lower cap gains rates.

The rich have abandoned any principled leadership role in this country, so screw 'em.
