(54,770 posts)people, this being one of them. I doubt she'd say, yes I will add this tax at this point. I bet she would say that she will have a comprehensive plan to increase taxes, this being one possibility. When she comes up with that plan, she'll consider what stands a chance of passing the Congress we are dealt. For instance, we could just as well impose a wealth tax, increase capital gains taxes, increase taxes on expensive homes, and many more.
The fact is, recently she stated that she did not think the government should give money to wealth parents for their kids' college education. To me, that is a backdoor tax that saves our tax money for other important things.
To many here it was just another way to slam Clinton that made no sense -- "she wants to make wealthy people pay their kids' college." So, what the crud is wrong with that if it helps poorer kids' get needed tuition money.
