There was an effort last year to pass a bill to fix the AMT horror show with regards to options last year.

I think ironically to the bubble many of us live in the Silicon Valley, this was proposed by a Republican and passed in the House. Never made it in the Senate. A refreshing reminder good ideas still come from all slices of our political spectrum.

Everyone hates the AMT; very roughly Democrats think it's a broken tool for addressing a real problem, and Republicans see the problem it addresses as a good thing.
