A Modest Tax Proposal: Co-Opting the Narrative

The Dems can't get the Slytherins (it's what we should always call them) to stop kicking, screaming and wailing, 'Higher Taxes,' at any suggestion that billionaires ought to pay more than secretaries. The way for Democrats to defuse the accusations of the wailing ninnies is simply to propose TAX CUTS (say, 2%) for everyone earning less than $250,000 a year, allied with a tax increase to, say, 50% on all income exceeding $250,000. The Dems can then advertise the package as a tax cut for all but the extremely wealthy, and it'll be hard for the Legions of Hell to counter this propagandistically.
