For many years the Democrats told us about all the "benefits" off raising taxes,
talkin' 'bout how they're going to fill the pot holes, how you're going to see infrastructure when you drive around, and how veterans are going to get a new motor scooter.
After years, and years, and years of hearing this BS and watching the government waste money, people had enough of politicians who want to raise taxes.
The Democrats switched to scare tactics. If you don't raise taxes, the National Debt will go berserk and you won't get Social Security.
The government collected more money, the National debt STILL went berserk, and every year they threaten to reduce Social Security.
The public was still against the idea of raising taxes.
-----------------------------------
Some Democrat came up with a genius idea, say "raise taxes on the rich". like someone else is going to pay the tax hikes. The Democrats have completely given up on trying to convince people, raising taxes will be beneficial.
-----------------------------------
A business has a cell phone made in China for 5 bucks each. They bring them to America and they sell them for $200 each, by doing this they become extremely wealthy.
Nearly every rich person in America is invested in business one way or another.
The public allows some politician to raise taxes "on the rich"
Ask yourself , which scenario is more probable...
1) A CEO says "They just raised taxes on our business!" , "Call my personal assistant, downgrade my house from 30 million to 2 million, tell the management team they're getting a pay cut, and tell the investors they're getting a profit cut!"
or
2) A CEO says "They just raised taxes on our business!" , "Call the sales manager and tell him to raise the price of out phones , 20 bucks!"
Who really pays the "tax on the rich"?
