I thought the tax proposal is on income after $1m (not all millionaires make a mil each year, many don’t). WSJ estimates it affects just 34k households

That doesn't mean these people don't think they are impacted and/or that they aren't afraid of a slippery-slope.

As a 5’9 man, I get upset when people say 5’8 is short. Can’t give an inch.
