Tony Fratto, once a spokesperson for former President George W. Bush, used Twitter on Wednesday to attempt to assuage Republicans who still have reservations about raising tax rates on the highest income earners.
While he doesn’t find them “ideal,” Fratto reminded his followers that such tax rates were in place during former President Bill Clinton’s two terms in the 1990s.
I don’t think Clinton tax rates are ideal, but we did live with them for eight years.Just return to them and start over next year.
