The MEC's presser yesterday removed any doubt what his hill to die on is: tax increases on the most successful Americans. Never mind that the $66 billion raised over ten years by such a confiscation would be dwarfed by the kinds of deficits - over $1 trillion a year - we've been running since the MEC became our overlord.
What's going on here is cultural at its root. The idea is to reinforce the meme that most Americans want to see "the wealthy" taxed more. It's raw class warfare. The only reason for doing it that is of any use to anybody is the gratification that the Freedom-Haters can gin up among the indoctrinated for seeing those more successful get it stuck to them. It is one of the Left's most effective tools in its great societal leveling enterprise.
It will also cause small business to pull in their horns even more than they are currently doing. In short, it doesn't avert the fiscal cliff. It merely aggrandizes the Most Equal Comrade, and there is probably nothing in the world more important to him.
