Sorry Mr. President, but it looks like you are on the outs with the American people again. According to the nation's most accurate polling service, Rasmussen, 51% of Americans are in favor of extending President Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy.

This revelation comes at a time when President Obama is pushing the mantra of "fear versus hope" in the upcoming 2010 elections. The President has also stated that Republicans are desperately trying to tax everyone into slavery, while he himself is defending raising taxes. With this new poll, it seems that the President's campaign for taxing the wealthy is not taking hold with the average American.

Possibly more revealing is the fact that only 35% of Americans believe that increasing taxes on the wealthy would help the U.S. economy. That is a 16% difference between opinions. With Republicans eying huge gains in November, these polls seem to lean in their favor.

excellent news. maybe the president will open his ears (and eyes)

That’s because they understand that poor people do NOT create jobs, never have, never will.

Class warfare (greed, envy, jealousy etc.) accounts for the 35% who want to tax the rich out of existence.

Obasturd and the Rats are on the wrong side of America yet again. People are starting to see past the “rich boogie man” argument and realize that 1) the only people getting rich off the government are too close to it, and 2) it is the government and not the rich man who are the biggest obstacles to the average person getting ahead.

Obasturd and the Rats are on the wrong side of America yet again.

What?!? They are ALWAYS on the same side as the American public.

Except for Obamacare, of course. And following the U.S. Constitution. And agreeing on that Arizona illegal alien law. And on whether that Ground Zero Mosque should be built. And on the stimulus. And the son of stimulus. And the grandson of stimulus. And the third cousin by marriage of stimulus.

And the bailouts for the car companies and the banks. And the "Cambridge police acted stupidly" thing. And the Cap and Tax nightmare. And the "Obama is a Christian" fiction. And that "following the U.S. Constitution" thing. And supporting Elena Kagan for SCOTUS. And...

I believe the majority of Americans are not burned up by envy and jealousy.....the wealthy give them jobs... and being christian, most don’t believe in coveting their neighbors goods...
