3D Chess: I bet by the time the budget battle is over the American people will be. . .

. . .demanding the government raise taxes on those making $250k or more. If that happens there is a legit chance that the Republicans (not the Democrats) may be forced to do it, and if they don't the American people will make them pay. Now think about that, a Republican led House raising taxes or paying the price for not doing so. . .CHECKMATE!

After watching the video of Paul Ryan getting boo'ed its becoming clear Republicans are losing this battle and even if they don't raise taxes they loose because its want the American people want.

4. It needs to be brought each time when someone like Paul Ryan makes a statement like

"We do tax the top". Slap him down by saying not as much as those taxed at the 100k to 335k or 15 million to 18,333,333 rate.

Also, make sure to let the audience understand that if a business or person for example has income of $330,000 it does not mean that all of their taxable income is taxed at the same rate.

The way they do business taxes is wrong.
