OMG we're going to miss out on $47B in revenue over 10 years!
We're dooooooooomed!
Let's see...
Barry deficit = 1.5T / 365 days = $4.1B per day
Buffet rule = 47B / 10 years = 4.7B per year
That would have covered over one full day of Barry deficit spending.
But I think the Democratic Senator from Arkansas put it best:
The lone defecting Democrat was Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, who said making the rich pay a fair share of taxes should occur as part of an overall tax overhaul, "not as a political ploy meant to score points."
