His reasoning is simple. He believes 80% of the people will go along with increasing the taxes onthe other 20%.....Marxism 101.
I believe he thinks everyone making less than $250K supports his tax increases because he tells them it is against everyone else, not them
Remember he was incredulous and then contemptuous that a working stiff like Joe the Plumber would dare to be against income redistribution, and his minions tried like hell to prove Joe was crazy, a hypocrite, or a planted shill
as if all people below $250K are economic illiterates and resentful envious marxist-hugging class warriors to boot
