How it should be said.

Tax increase, yes, but only on the top one percent.

That's the secret to making the GOP eat it.

Democrats always have some 700-word explanation about a tax increase and when some windbag like Biden finally gets done bloviating, all the Republican has to do is say, "They're raising your taxes, I think you know what to do with your money better than some bereaucrat in Washington."
But if all the democrats has to say is, "Only on the top one percent," and then stop talking.
People will understand that they aren't in the top one percent and they'll likely agree with the Democrat.
