Likening the bill to a bear bouncing back and forth in a shooting gallery, Darman said, "There will be additional shots at the bear, but the bear will continue to move in the right direction." The most potent argument against too much tampering is the desire to keep the top tax rate at 27%. Some supporters hope to reach an agreement that will prevent any Senator from offering loophole-opening amendments without specifying how to make up for any revenues that might be lost.
