This is a “see, I tried” PR event
“See, nobody wants to raise taxes on the wealthy, it’s just not popular” - some dipshit in a month or two.

" to raise the tax rate on the highest earners and the other to close the so-called carried interest loophole, according to a Republican leadership source, as well as two other GOP sources familiar with the call."
To try to get Democrats on board? Or if the Dems vote against it, to use as campaign fodder?
