You're right that it's taken as near gospel that taxes serve pretty much no function but to impede job creation. How could socialists/liberal democrats change that narrative? That seems like a mighty important chore.
I honestly don't know. Obamacare hasn't done much for Obama's approval rating even though it's provided health insurance for a giant chunk of the country. On the other hand, Bush gave $300 to everybody in June 2001 and it didn't do much for him either. Something did, though. http://content.gallup.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/cvfspjk4hesmzts2bc0brg.gif I'm afraid there's a much bigger policy lesson there.
