The Washington Post reports Democrats in Congress want to take money from one economic classification and give it to another.
House Democrats looking to spare millions of middle-class families from the expensive bite of the alternative minimum tax are considering adding a surcharge of 4 percent or more to the tax bills of the nation's wealthiest households.
Under one version of the proposal, about 1 million families would be hit with a 4.3 percent surtax on income over $500,000, which would raise enough money to permit Congress to abolish the alternative minimum tax for millions of households earning less than $250,000 a year, according to Democratic aides and others familiar with the plan.
Why not just end the class-warfare AMT, period? Well, that would put Americans, regardless of income, on a footing that was far too equal for these congressional Marxists.
