Which is absurd. Almost everyone got a break compared to the old system. The wealthy still pay a far higher proportion of their income as taxes. Sure, the wealthy got a better break in absolute terms and relative to the old system.

It appears that Wonk believes the tax burden should be on a one-way ratchet, allowing only for increases in the burden borne by the wealthy, regardless of whether there have been other increases recently. Marx would agree.
