Explain to me how raising taxes on anyone in the economic situation we are in now will help the economy.

1) The history of pending legislation since 2009 illustrates what I meant.
2) It seems obvious that raising some taxes is a partial means by which we can reduce the deficit. I am suggesting that taxes be raised in areas where it will have the least negative impact. Here's another example: raising the taxes on alcohol and tobacco products.
Now, do you care to answer my question?
