We were giving advice for the single-worst idea to come forward from a group that's been rife with them, it would be this: the idea is this: let's make the tax code of america better for very rich people; let's give substantial tax relief to the richest people we can find. forget about the person making $40,000 a year and paying social security payroll tax. forget about all those other people paying income tax; we're here to give tax relief to the richest 2% of america.
