More than 8 in 10 likely voters want President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts extended before they expire at the end of this year, according to a new poll released as Congress rushes to finalize a “big, beautiful” bill making those provisions permanent.

A Public Opinion Strategies survey exclusively obtained by The Post found 84% of possible US voters would back keeping the current tax rates if they were in Congress — while just 16% would favor a tax increase.

By party affiliation, 95% of Republicans, 81% of independents and 74% of Democrats prefer the status quo in terms of taxation.

Likely senior voters, moderates and suburbanites — key demographics for next year’s midterms — were all in favor of extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act by margins of more than 60% each.

The ones who don’t pay taxes.

The Democratic insiders who are making money administering the NGOs and those getting under-the-table kickbacks.

Maybe those who were on the wrong end of the law who had their taxes increased, including the limit on property tax deductions and (in my case) no more deductions for job related cross-country moves.

Re the “big beautiful bill’.

Since Trump is taking a wrecking ball to all federal processes, he should include bills and the way they are written.

They need to be succinct and simple for the average person to understand, without a lot of hidden deals.

And they should be released to the public for review before a vote takes place.

The very rich and the very poor.

Welfare recipients don't pay much in the way of taxes - no taxable income no taxes.

The very rich have tax sheltered income - no taxable income no taxes.

Both want us W-2 working stiffs to pay to keep the party going...
