Strange Bedfellows
It's nothing out of character for the DemonRats and their Fellow Marxist Travelers to oppose capitalism and fairness in the tax code in their class warfare to oppose the elimination of the double taxation of corporate income. What is a little odd is the selfish opposition to the change in dividend taxation by supposed capitalist financiers, such as the tax free muni and housing tax credit industries, who don't want the competition for investor money that they fear from tax free income from capital stocks. While, there can be genuine philosophical debates over the effects of the removal of the double taxation on the capital markets, these protectionist attitudes show that fans of high and unfair taxes can be found in unlikely places.
