They have said many times that raising taxes is the “right thing to do” even if revenues shrink because of it.
DING DING DING - we have a winner! Getting two for one is always better.
I think that is more of a long range goal. I think the immediate strategy is a continuation of class warfare, where the hated class is most anybody that didn't vote for O. They talk about the 1%, but they really mean the white, middle class.
They want to raise money, as a form of control and to pay off their voter base. They don't really need your money for that, they just don't want you doing something foolish, like giving it to Republicans.
