Will the last American Patriot leaving the building please turn out the lights. Thank you.
Interesting that 75% of voters favor cutting spending across the board, but only about 5% of political officeholders - including Republicans - believe in that very simple remedy.
Wrong question!
“Do you think taxes should be raised on those making over $250,000 a year if it means that they will shut down their businesses and lay off employees so that the actual amount of tax money to pay welfare decreases while the number of people requiring welfare increases thus lowering benefits for everyone?”
Just do it. Yes, it will kill jobs. Ann Coulter is right. Give America what it thinks it wants.
Of course MORE people wanted to cut all government spending, so why wasn’t THAT the headline?
And the questions are stupid. Of course people would rather rich people get hit with a tax. If it said “Raise taxes on someone other than me”, everybody would choose that.
If you instead asked people about which CONSEQUENCE of the fix they would rather live with, and the “tax the rich” was replaced by “cause a recession”, nobody would choose it.
