Why it's so important for the Democrats to raise taxes

As a therapist one of my least favorite patients was a sociopath who used to brag that he convinced his employer(s) that he would protect their back pocket while he stole them blind from their front pocket.
The Democratic leadership is doing the same thing. They know that the more poor there are, the more likely they will vote Democratic while the wealthier they are the more conservative they become. So the simple solution is to pretend they are protecting the back pocket of people. They make the majority think they are helping them by taxing the 'one percent' while they know that taxing the job producers results in less jobs and more poor people.
It's a brilliant strategy to sucker in the majority which has been used by Mao when he killed millions of farm holders and caused tens of millions to starve because no one wanted to risk owning a farm. It was used by Stalin when he arrested millions of farm owners which cause the Ukraine to go into a famine because no one wanted to risk owning a farm. And now Obama and his compatriots are going to raise taxes on the 'rich' just to stay in power by creating a larger pool of supporters.
History shows that lowering taxes creates wealth. But the problem is that the more wealth is created the more people want to protect the wealth they gained and thus become more conservative. So the answer for those who want to grasp power from the left is to pretend they are helping the poor while they do their best to create more poor.
