Telling constituents you're not interested in raising revenue by taxing the wealthiest in a letter is easy. Even if a supermajority of Granite Staters disagree with you, and your refusal to listen was the reason for the S&P downgrade.
Doing it in person is a lot harder, especially when your constituents are on to your misleading statements, and ThinkProgress is there to document it:
GUINTA: Well I think the way you raise revenue, my personal feeling is [...] I don't feel that raising taxes has to be the first option, there have to be many other options and alternatives before you raise tax rates. I feel like it can be regressive to raise rates on small businesses [...]
WOMAN: Most small businesses are never even in the bracket of which we speak. They never reach that. And when they do it's only the first dollar above the first $250,000 that is taxed at that higher rate. So it's really very misleading when 'Our small businesses need to be protected.' They already are. Because 80, 90 percent of them never even have taxable income at the rate you're talking about, so it's really very misleading, and I'm really sick of hearing this misleading stuff.
