    yeah. but I meant to say it does show the wonders of taxing the rich, even if this is not particularly. if this tiny amount of tax alone closed like 5% of this insane deficit, that’s still proof that actually taxing them what they deserve will do wonders.

      I agree with both of you and I’ll add that the negative publicity of rich folk gnashing their teeth about something as out of touch to working Americans as taxing a 5m+ second home is a good first step on popularizing and eventually executing the rest of his tax plan.
