I once had a public relations person tell me that if you are the first to tell the American people something they will believe it. Democrats were the party to use “tax the rich” as their reason to elect them in Minnesta during the last election. It worked. They received control of all branches of government. They did proceed to raise taxes by 2 percent on the people making over $130 million, but they also raised taxes on many other things that is paid by the lower-income taxpayers. The total they raised was $2 billion.

I have not seen once how much of the $2 billion came from the rich and how much came from the rest of the taxpayers. Maybe our representative can answer that?
