Ah, but I will surely have a negative reaction to all suggestions that we require ANY new / incremental taxes. It would be far more palatable if you were to suggest specific tax cuts in other areas to offset any proposed new tax. But there is the rub, the Tax and Spend mentality can not embrace any proposal in which the revenue and spending pie remains static or shrinks. When you propose a new tax and do not target specific offsets, you are simply advocating more revenue. Your revenue centric strawman just burned and created more carbon.
