Thanks. However they are talking about scaling back, reining in, not eliminating. And note they are going to "raise taxes on upper income households" - which is exactly how we got the AMT in the first place. People should learn the soak the rich rhetoric always comes back on the non-rich. They should have just let people arrange their affairs to avoid taxation if they choose. Instead liberal class war preaching politicians designed a new tax system to only affect the rich and now its hitting 23M households some under $100K. I have to chuckle at the poetic justice here: Among those most likely to face higher tax bills because of the AMT, at least in the near term, are those who live in high-tax states such as New York, California and Massachusetts, which also tend to be Democratic-leaning. I feel for the conservatives in such states. Maybe they should move to NH and NV.
