Time is priceless. If it were me, I'd rather have my taxes go up than have 5 years of my retirement taken away from me. And I'd definitely rather see the taxes of people who are clutching their pearls over affording a 4th house go up.

If the rich can evade taxes so easily, that's the problem the government should be trying to solve. How is it fair to just throw up your hands and say "sorry everyone but we've tried nothing to tax corporations and we're all out of ideas, so you'll be retiring 5 years later than you thought."

But we all know why they're putting the burden on the middle and lower classes, and they know too. Which is why they're rightfully protesting.
