I think a minimum tax would be quite palatable if the Federal government weren't spending money like a Biden in a crack house.The laugh-till-you-throw-up line from the article has to be:
"First, making loan proceeds taxable would mark a fundamental shift in income taxation."
Indebting myself would now be income?
Destroy the language: check.
Create rules that encourage secrecy, cheating and promote a black market: check. (Off book loans for the win!)
Invent another "need to know" (how much did you borrow this year, comrade?) reason to gather info on your financial doings: check.
Appeal to simpleton electorate by claiming to target "The Rich": check.
Yeah, it checks a number of 2021 "political good idea" boxes.
