They want to raise taxes on lower income people so they have a “stake in the game”. Last time around they noticed low income folks were not enthusiastic about deficit-generating tax cuts, supposedly because their taxes are already very low, so they didn’t see a plus for their own pocket books.

So yeah, go ahead and raise taxes for those with lower income while cutting taxes for the rich. That should go over well, right?
