‘The President’s Buffett Rule Is Vaporware’

Keith Hennessey writes:

The President has not actually proposed a tax policy that fits this principle.  Neither his budget nor the tax proposals released by Treasury include any policy specifics to establish a new minimum 30% tax rate for those with income > $1M.

Treasury released 200 pages of proposed tax policy changes, including obscure things like repealing the preferential dividend rule for Real Estate Investment Trusts. They did not release specifics to accompany the one tax policy change the President talks about almost every day (and twice yesterday).
