When I wrote about the book Priceless by John Goodman, I mentioned that new taxes would be implemented to fund Obama's healthcare law. Now, in the context of the "fiscal cliff", where people act like taxes on higher income individuals may not go up, I would direct them to this recent article in the NY Times, which highlights several ways in which "rich" people will have to pay more regardless of what the pols resolve by year's end.
Higher taxes are not a tragedy in my opinion, but this approach does not leave me very optimistic.
