A new poll from Marist and McClatchy make the position of Reid and Obama even tougher. Contrary to Obama’s claim, a majority of registered voters want all of the current tax rates extended, even those of the highest earners:

A majority of Americans want the Bush tax cuts extended for everyone, despite a strong push by President Barack Obama to eliminate them on higher incomes, according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.

The poll found 52 percent of registered voters saying they want all the tax cuts extended, including the tax cuts for incomes above $250,000, while 43 percent want the cuts extended just for incomes below that threshhold [sic].

The news gets worse for Obama in the demographics, even if McClatchy has a problem with reporting on the issue:

“I’ve aid my own bills and many other people’s bills as wee for the last 30 years. I’ve already resigned myself to the fact I will never see a dime of social security. All I want is to pay my own bills and have everyone else pay their own. I get very tired of being sugar mama for the entire country...”

LOL. You do need to take do a quick proof of your posts. But I hear you...but given the choice of forcing this debt on to future generations, or paying our bills now, I still prefer to pay now. And no, there is no third way...as many, many, people even on this site want their SS and that’s final.
