New poll questions:
Should obama raise taxes on my employer?

The bottom line of the graphic reveals who was polled

You can rest assured that there will be fraud in favor of the Democrats in MD, NJ, IL, NY, MA, to name just the most egregious examples.
These polls could be true, and I second what you say. Also, most of the world is, still, “stuck with leftist politics” of some kind, too, with nearly all of the world’s “conservative political parties”, also, continuing to remain to the left (and, in many cases, to the far left) of “U.S. conservatism”.
Zephaniah 1:18
Neither their silver nor their gold Shall be able to deliver them In the day of the LORD's wrath; But the whole land shall be devoured By the fire of His jealousy, For He will make speedy riddance Of all those who dwell in the land.
Ezekiel 7:19
They will throw their silver into the streets, And their gold will be like refuse; Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them In the day of the wrath of the LORD; They will not satisfy their souls, Nor fill their stomachs, Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.
All that God has provided is being lost to history. We have brought our downfall by electing this son of a harlot named Obama.
Thank God for granting the wisdom to the founders to have the Electoral College.
It tends to isolate the effects of ‘rat fraud.

Plenty of interesting reading.
This is 6 months away.
The sheeple figure Congress is gonna stop this before it happens....
“The sample consisted of 1,007 adults sitting on their couches during a workday contacted by phone.”
Why did these tax cuts have an expiration date?
I am not feeling "assured" by your claim. The thought that the democRATS will engage is such acts of fraud brings me NO rest.
RE: Why did these tax cuts have an expiration date?
A little history here...
Bush NEEDED support for his tax cut proposal because the country faced the double whammy of the DOT COM bubble burst ( and recession ) plus the 9/11 attacks (which exacerbated it ).
He was not expecting support from the Dems and he was getting opposition from the likes of John McCain.
Hence here comes the word -— COMPROMISE — was needed.
In Congress, it is always about compromise. In order to get it passed, Bush allowed a sunset provision (otherwise he would find it hard to get it passed in the first place ).
So, the Bush tax cuts had sunset provisions that made them expire at the end of 2010, since otherwise they would fall under the Byrd Rule ( named after the former KKK grand master ). The Byrd Rule is a Senate rule that amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to allow Senators, during the Reconciliation Process, to block a piece of legislation if it purports significantly to increase the federal deficit beyond a ten-year term or is otherwise an “extraneous matter” as set forth in the Budget Act.
Most of the tax cuts were scheduled to expire December 31, 2010. Debate over what to do regarding the expiration became a regular issue in the 2004 and 2008 U.S. presidential elections, with Republican candidates generally wanting the cut rates made permanent and Democratic candidates generally advocating for a retention of the lower rates for middle-class incomes but a return to Clinton-era rates for high incomes.
This was resolved during the presidency of Obama by a two-year extension that was part of a larger tax and economic package, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010.
So here we are -— about to face its expiration next year....
By allowing the 2003 tax cuts to retire, President “Present” will be increasing the bottom rate from 10% to 15% and the 20% bracket to 25%.
Do the math with me:
Raising the 10% bracket to 15% represents what percentage of increase? Hint: The correct answer is NOT 5%.
Raising the 20% bracket to 25% represents what percentage of increase? Hint: The correct answer, again, is NOT 5%.
Finally, raising the 35% bracket to 39% represents what percentage of increase: Hint: The correct answer is NOT 4%.
Extra credit question: People in which tax bracket will see the largest percentage of increase in their taxes?
Extra extra credit question: People in which tax bracket will see the smallest percentage of increase in their taxes?
To those moving from the 35% to the 39% tax bracket...that’s roughly an 11% increase in taxes.
From 20% to 25%...that’s a full-blown 25% increase in taxes.
To those moving from the 10% bracket to 15%, their taxes will be increased by a whopping 50%.
So the low-income people get their taxes raised even more when seen as a percentage. And the rich folks lose a higher magnitude of money...but the percentage compared to what they already make is lower.
Have you heard the joke about Abdul’s goats?
Have you also seen the study that showed that people were willing to accept harm to themselves as long as it harmed “the rich guy”?
