Everybody\u2019s run the numbers on this and they have found out that the Buffett Rule would raise an additional $5.1 billion.  Okay, $5.1 billion.  So the regime is saying it\u2019s not about raising revenue. No, no, no, the Buffett Rule, we\u2019re not about closing the deficit.  That\u2019s not the point of the Buffett Rule, no.  Fairness. <\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\"><img xhtml:id=\"eZObject_61249\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaClassWarfareProtestor.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">The regime is acknowledging the Buffett Rule will not reduce the deficit or the debt.  They are now stressing that this is fair.  It is more fair.   It\u2019s right there in The Politico. &#8220;The Obama administration is emphasizing &#8216;fairness\u2019 over deficit reduction in its renewed pitch for the &#8216;Buffett Rule\u2019 ahead of next week\u00c2\u2019s scheduled Senate vote.  Introducing a minimum 30 percent income tax on millionaires &#8216;was never our plan to bring the deficit down and get the debt under control,\u2019 Jason Furman, the principal deputy director of the White House National Economic Council, told reporters on a conference call Monday afternoon. &#8216;This is not the president\u00c2\u2019s entire tax plan. We\u00c2\u2019re not trying to say this solves all our economic problems, all our budget problems.'&#8221;  This is simple fairness. <\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">All right.  Let\u2019s put this in perspective.  The Buffett Rule, a minimum 30% tax rate on millionaires, $5.1 billion.  If every federal agency cut its budget by just 1%, we\u2019d get $33.6 billion.  Now, what makes more sense, a 36% tax rate on millionaires, class warfare, class envy, to generate $5.1 billion and call it fair. Or to simply cut 1%, which is getting rid of some paper clips, 1% cut in the budget of every federal agency would save $33.5 billion dollars, almost seven times what the Buffett Rule would generate in savings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Jim Geraghty at National Review Online today, the Buffett Rule.
