Revisiting this article, I still agree with the critics of Booker, Porter, etc. Tax negativity is a scourge, not an aspiration. The idea that the rich should pay everything and that working people should pay almost nothing is populist slop, not to mention a Republican straw man.

Democratic tax cuts aren't even electorally viable. Harris campaigned on all kinds of tax credits and deductions. Who won? The guy who proposed and passed the "Big Beautiful Bill."
