I actually agree that revenue boost is needed but that's easily done with closing loopholes - no tax increase needed. Just because Republicans staunchly oppose tax hikes doesn't necessarily mean they wouldn't get on board with that, which as Reagan proved increases revenue from the wealthiest taxpayers since they make the most use of loopholes by a fair margin.
