“Tax the rich.” Just because it’s a slogan of the left doesn’t mean it doesn’t have application from the conservative perspective of government. The fact of the matter is that the rich pay a massively disproportionate amount of taxes. They are already taxed exorbitantly and most are proud to pay. But when one is paying less than his/her peer, that’s an injustice. Just make it equal. SALT deduction limits are literally shields that allow high earners to not pay “their fair share.”
All this to say, you don’t understand the the opposition very well and don’t have a handle on their views.
