Andrew ..Exactly!  Bret is under the illusion that Biden can just wave a magic wand to change the tax code...even he should know that's entirely up to Congress. IMO though, the more aggravating (and ludicrous) point Bret made regarding taxes was his recommendation to implement a low flat tax, a tired old mantra Republicans have had for decades. Assuming that universal tax rate was 10%,  one doesn't need a PhD in mathematics to realize that having to pay $3,000 in tax would hurt someone earning $30,000/yr. far more than someone making one million dollars having to pay $100,000. In other words Bret, flat does NOT equal fair.
