Zogby Poll You'll Never See

I just read your latest poll and couldn’t help but notice the left wing slant of your questions relative to rolling back the tax cut.

Your questions on taxes were not only slanted but confusing, maybe you can help me: Your question reads – Please tell me if you favor or oppose rolling back the tax cut if…it means the deficits would increase? If I “favor” rolling back the tax cuts, does that then mean…the deficits would increase? In your framing the question, if appears deficits would increase either way.

The following are questions that should be asked to get a true portrayal of American opinion:

Taxes
Please tell me if you favor or oppose additional tax cuts if…favoring means significantly more money to keep for college, home, automobile, groceries, clothes for your kids, vacation, helping your elderly parents?
Favor
Oppose

If you had your own business which of the following choices would help your business grow, prosper and hire more people:
A) More tax cuts and faster depreciation of equipment.
B) Paying for Health Insurance for workers you had to lay off for whatever reason.
C) Paying additional unemployment benefits to your laid off workers.

Energy
According to USA Today, the following are yearly average utility costs for the following cities: Tokyo $5,896, Paris $4,247, London $2,129 and USA average $1,291.

How about these questions..????

Taxes are at an all time high at almost 21% of GNP during Clinton's last term. Do you agree with economists that this enormous amount of taxation and spending caused the recession. [yes/no]

What causes deficits? Spending, taxes or both?

When you hear the phrase "tax the rich" did you know they are talking about you? [yes, no]

Do you remember the Democrats ever speaking of eliminating wasteful spending or eliminating programs that don't work?

Can you name a program the Democrats have proposed that has worked?

Why do you think the Democrats always propose more and more spending and big government?

Because people like me don't care
Because I'm greedy - I'd rather have my neighbor pay for everything - he's rich.
Because I always vote for Democrats.
Can you repeat the question?
