WHO does GALLUP talk to?
Great, can’t wait for all these new taxes to trickle down to the middle class.
Of course the majority support this. How do you think we got into this mess? All too many people want to live off of other people. People support the welfare state, the “safety net” and the graduated income tax. Ugly truth.
A sample of all adults in the U.S., half of whom aren’t even registered to vote and/or required to pay income tax.
Why can’t we just have a flat tax and eliminate all the deductions and not tax capital gains?
now ask the question in a poll.
Would you prefer your rich boss to be taxed more knowing he might lay off a couple of workers.
As for the rich who say they should pay more
THEN FRIGGING DO SO WHO IS STOPPING YOU.
Springer on fox this morning saying the rich should [pay more and not one person said why doesn’t he, why not give a check to Govt then and give up your tax rebate.
Do it up then, dummies.
Yup...
Keep 'em stupid, indoctrinated, and have ringers to play the bad guy, while fine print tax law subsidizes those same ringers (GE, GM, Buffett).
Looks like Gallop worked with a sample that would give them the outcome they were looking for. +-4% is not a good poll.
BS
And that’s why Obama is using the only argument left for his presidency; he’ll get yours from your neighbor - because it works. Leaders who rely on the population’s sin nature of envy to obtain and retain power are evil.
It's hard to see how anything else could be more equitable; it's amazing - and disheartening - why this common sense policy goes nowhere in Washington.
Do you know of anyone who would embrace such common sense conservative policies? Mmmm...let me think...
Americans also favor a repeal of obummercare- but the idiot Republicans are not beating that drum as they should...
Here’s the deal: It is simple to demand that rich people should pay more in federal taxes. To oppose that proposal is much more difficult.
Easy to say, but tough to fight it. It’s like using a bumper sticker to advance a proposal, and deriding the bumper sticker with a short essay.
Try telling people that the top 10% of income earners pay 60% of the tax, and that the bottom 50% pay only 3%.
A lot of people in America don’t want to hear the latter part of the argument. That, a testament to our welfare state. Ugh.
Well golly gee, then let’s look at the REAL polls: election results....
Have the “tax the rich bastards” candidates WON? Nope.
So Hussein and his crowd can cram it hard and deep.
A National Socialist picking a scapegoat.Now,where have I seen this movie before?
This poll is equivalent to the Ministry of Propaganda and Enlightenment telling Nazi Party members that everything is going well in Stalingrad.
