If taxes are to be raised, the increase needs to be perceived as fair.  Dems define fair as limiting tax increases to those making more than $400,000, with all the benefits they going to those making less than $400,000. That is essentially a welfare system, with the rich paying for the middle class.   But the middle class doesn’t need welfare. Instead, more benefits should go to the poor and the working class. The middle class wants free college, parental leave, health care subsidies, subsidized childcare and on and on. But why I would you give such welfare benefits to the middle class when the poor and the working class send their kids to substandard schools, need pay day loans, lack healthcare or have substandard health care coverage, live in high crime neighborhoods and are far more in need than the middle class.
