If you’re feeling uneasy, it’s probably because we now know we live in a country built on the blackmail of a dead pedophile who is Too Big to Fail, so Congress has to go home for a couple of months to figure out how talk about it without defenestrating the president and collapsing the economy.

Nothing has to be all or nothing. You can tax churches who collect more than a certain amount of money and leave the rest as they are. Same with taxpayers, we could tax only people who make over $75k or $100k or some other amount and spend a whole lot less on more effective tax collection.
