Pro-redistribution people like me would be thrilled if we were removing distortionary tax expenditures from rich people to benefit the poor or even middle class.

What’s proposed is punishing the urban rich to benefit the megarich, with a tax increase after less than 10 years for the median household.

Which is very clever if your poor base is willing to go along with it, which appears is the case.

Who cares if all semblance of shared institutions dies in the process, the megarich get their tax cut!
