House Democrats are licking their chops for a chance to attack Republicans for the upcoming vote to extend all Bush-era tax rates.

In a two-page memo obtained by POLITICO, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is instructing its candidates how to frame their message on taxes to voters on the campaign trail.

“It’s important you lead the charge to hold Republicans accountable and unmask their agenda to voters in your district,” DCCC Chairman Steve Israel wrote to the candidates. “It’s Groundhog Day as Republicans and your opponent put millionaires over the middle class.”

The document cites a recent poll from the Pew Research Center showing that voters believe, by a two-to-one margin, that raising taxes on the top 2 percent would help the economy. That same poll found 41 percent of independent voters believe the tax increase on the wealthy would help the economy, and 18 percent believe it would hurt it, with 30 percent saying the tax increase would make no difference.

“With 100 days to go until the election, Republicans are giving us everything we could have asked for – doubling down on their failed priorities,” Israel, a New York Democrat, wrote in the memo. “Congressional Republicans are actually handing your campaign a major opportunity to demonstrate how you would fight for the middle class, seniors and small business, while your Republican opponent is recklessly and relentlessly fighting for more tax cuts for millionaires and the special interests even though it adds massively to deficits and debt.”

The Republican-led House is expected to pass a one-year extension of all the current tax rates next week, which is the last week Congress is in session. That would also include a legislative mechanism to force Congress to enact comprehensive tax reform in 2013.

Meanwhile, the Democratic-led Senate will move on its own tax proposal this week, which would extend current tax rates for household income under $250,000.
