Pew of crap
Pew and NBC said that Hillary would win the election. Why even publish these fake polls?
When the polls are one-sided questions that ask if people want benefits while not mentioning the costs, the results are garbage. GIGO.
Dear Pew:
If anyone wants to make a point using your polling, I will laugh at them.
As Bob Hope would say, “thanks for the memories.”

wrong question.
should have asked... which services would YOU personally pay more taxes to fund!
And was lauded for predicting President Hillary Clinton’s electoral thrashing of Rep. Candidate Donald Trump. No bias there
Pew >>> Phew >>> P U
1) It’s a shortened term for puteo, which is Latin for “to stink, be redolent, or smell bad.” I actually called a professor of Latin at the University of Florida to verify this one.
2) It’s actually spelled “piu,” but is often pronounced as “pee-yew”. It’s root is the Indo-European word “pu,” meaning to rot or decay. A lot of other languages use this root word and have the same general meaning.

Yes of course we want bigger government, that’s why the party of bigger government keeps winning - oh wait never mind; but thank you oh so much honest media.
“Government service” is an oxymoron.
This is a Pew poll and it is the first time they have managed to get more wanted a bigger government than a smaller government.
So we can rest assured we’ve not actually quite crossed that appalling tipping point yet.
But two thirds of Americans want more federal money spent on education? How about educating them on the Constitution!
The National Debt is now $20 trillion.
And most people have yet so see any of the downsides
to that in their personal situations.
Did they poll any givers or only the takers?
They also prefer not paying taxes. This is why tax reform has to be more than tax cuts and taking people off the tax rolls. In retrospect, the worst mistake Reagan made with his tax reform was taking the poor off of the tax rolls. They now have zero incentive to cut government. If people had the pain of paying for all this expanded government, they’d sing a different tune. But if they get it for free, why not?
Gimme gimme gimme and let the “rich” pay for it.
Many, maybe most of Americans’ have been brainwashed. If big government is what they prefer then they want America to fail, go bust and become like Cuba, or Russia, or China or North Korea, or any other evil government.
May the Lord have mercy on their tortured souls.
It’s because of who is now in charge of the government...
I believe it. Ironically, universal suffrage is suicide for sustainable “self governance,” and is a recipe that favors the worst of human nature. Once half the people figure out they can vote largesse for themselves from the public treasury ... goes the old saw.
Good metric for setting deportation/ immigration limits. No immigration and max deportation until this trend is reversed!!
Did they follow up the question with “are you willing to pay for this “free” stuff?”
That is what happens when Pew poll are taken down to the local welfare agency
