That's the point. The tax increase in the proposal will do NOTHING to reduce deficits or significantly increase revenue.For the sake of argument, I'm going to presume that your stats are correct despite doubting them. Even if that many people supported raising taxes to fix the deficit, raising taxes wouldn't fix the deficit. It would merely slow the economy and we would see even less revenue than we have before
The tax increase is a show. It gives the democrats something to place in their campaign ads.
"we raised taxes on the rich so you could find a job".. Or some such other smelly dog pile.
