I watch ALL the network Sunday shows and I have yet to hear an R call POTUS or any of his wimpy lapdogs (Carney, Geitner, etc) on their continuous statements that 'the Rs don't want to raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires'. I didn't know those making $250,000 to $999,000 had been 'promoted'!

The Republican party "as is" just doesn't seem to have a ground truth handle on the problem, let alone a plan. I am a little confused right now, as many others here may also be, as to what the solution is and how to execute.
Really good post as usual, Richard {Salute} |
I attempted to explain the answer in my "How do you raise taxes?" thread. An overwhelming majority of people coming out of our Ivy League Schools have been indoctrinated in Keynsian economics. Some know it, and some don't. But these are the people who then go out and manage, oversee, and communcate to the rest of the population through their Keynsian lenses.
Also there are two things in particular that make it hard for Republicans to outsell Democrats. One is because the REAL way to produce economic growth is COUNTERintuitive. If you understand little about the businessworld, it's intuitive to think RAISING taxes reduces the debt. Cutting taxes is counterintutive.
Second is that one party is doing the heavy lifting by offering to take candy away. The other is offering to give more candy.
Oh, one party is masterful at obfuscation and will make people think up is down and black is white and they are doing the heavy lifting, but in reality, it's not the case.
