The phrase "tax cuts for the rich" has been repeated endlessly by Democrats without one Republican that I know of saying, "Folks, I don't lie awake at night worrying about millionaires' tax problems. Millionaires have lawyers and accountants who get paid to do that. But I do worry about jobs being lost to millions of American workers because we make the business climate here worse than in other countries. That's a high price to pay for rhetoric."

simple, and possibly effective...

Sure, if you forgot how Republicans made themselves vulnerable to the Buffet rule attack.

Sure Americans don't care how much the rich pay in taxes when their own taxes are going down and their middle class benefits are going up AT THE SAME TIME. That is why GWB did that very thing.

But in 2011 the new Republicans congress (and partially baited by Obama) started trying to tell voters that the country cant afford those middle class benefits indefinitely because of the rising deficit ,and dont forget the FICA tax battle.

Only in an imaginary world of some talk radio shows will voters support losing their own entitlements while Rush and Buffet get their taxes cut. And the legacy of GWB was hardly helpful in showing that every rich guy's tax cut makes the average voter richer.
