A new poll shows California voters strongly support proposals to allow the Bush tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans to expire -- and overwhelmingly favor policies that allow the middle class to keep more of their earnings instead.
The statewide poll was taken by the Democratic polling firm of Greenberg Quinlan and Rosner for the SEIU. Hardly non-partisan, but Greenberg is well-respected; and the poll has good news for Democratic U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer -- in the middle of a tough re-election battle with Republican Carly Fiorina -- as she backs an end the tax cuts to the rich.
The poll also provides Democrats with a broad blueprint of how to most effectively shape their message heading toward November on the issue. The conclusion from Greenberg, according to a memo obtained by the Chronicle: the party's strongest possible message this fall is that "middle class families and small businesses are the backbone of the economy,'' and the Obama Administration proposal will cut taxes for them and "give them more money to spend" while it "helps the economy, creates jobs, and lowers the deficit."
The poll was conducted Sept. 8-13 among 400 likely voters in California, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

That’s because Bush tax cuts went mostly to the people that actually EARNED the money. Obambi’s tax cuts will undoubtedly be another backdoor welfare redistribution plan, much like the “earned” income tax credit.
Only those that leach off the gov’t love them.
400 is avery low sampling. Must have been known democrats:
They never called me.

Or you could ask them what is more important, the sun or the moon and they would probably say the moon because it shines at night when you really need light and the sun only shines during the day when there is plenty of light anyway.
Yeah, no kidding. Pretty good... ;^)
Amen.
And they wonder why their state is leading the pack in the race to the bottom...
Whut up?
Tax cuts never have helped Welfare Queens.
Something I’ve been wondering and maybe this is the right thread to ask the question.
Does anyone here know if our elected officials (Prez, Senators, Congresspeople) pay taxes?
MOST of these people DON”T PAY TAXES!!!!! FLAT TAX....EVERYONE SHOULD PAY A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE!!
Lots and lots of hot weather. Where was it when we had summer ??
Gawd!!!
Imagine if I had sent you a “Publishers Clearing House” letter notifying you of your good luck to win $10,000,000!
But you had to claim it within two days!
LOL. You answered my post from last week!
Seriously, how are you? PM me if you like.
And this weather is ridiculous! Couldn’t figure out why the air conditioner was on, in my office, until I stepped outside. Way to Hot!
And will stay in the 80’s through this week.
But you probably had it worse than us.
