Editorial: When Democrats find a new cause: ‘Helping millionaires’ – Chicago Tribune*

Illinois’ congressional Democrats, most notably U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth and the North Shore’s Rep. Brad Schneider, are leaders in this campaign, which would make the tax code more regressive.... For Democrats who routinely say they want to raise taxes on the wealthy, support for restoring SALT deductibility is a clumsy dance. As if to say, 'We want to soak high-income Americans — but not the ones we represent.'" Comment: Wirepoints wrote here the same point earlier this week.
