Despite the fact that Republicans in Congress have made reducing the deficit one if their signature issues this election season, they also have been arguing without addressing the $700 billion cost that the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy should not be allowed to expire. Yet a new USA Today/Gallup poll found that a majority of Americans see it differently. While 37% support keeping the tax cuts for all Americans, 44% want them extended only for those making less than $250,000 and 15% think they should expire for all taxpayers:
Gallup notes the bottom line: Democrats may not be putting themselves at great political risk by allowing the tax cuts to expire for wealthy Americans. In fact, the middle ground of extending tax cuts for low- and middle-income Americans but allowing them to expire for wealthy Americans the Democrats most likely proposal is the specific option the public prefers most.
Update The Washington Post's Greg Sargent notes numerous other recent polling showing that Americans want the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy to expire.
And that is why they don't have JOBS. I hate to break this rocket science to the "Progressive" DONKEY idiots on this forum but the RICH CREATE THE JOBS!!! Tax them more than you do the others, YOU LOSE THE JOBS that money in their hands could have created.
The tax cuts haven't expired yet, but there are no jobs. Care to explain that?
Because your boy Barry Soetorro has made doing business in the US untenable. It will remain so as long as the foreign usurper occupies the White House. You commie dogs can't have it all, you know.
Amazing how many apologists there are for the TOP 50 000 and their Greatest Concentration of Wealth in World History.
And how this has NOTHING whatsoever to do with America's crumbling Infrastructure-see San Bruno 50 homes torched by P&GE-or America's worldwide Military enforced Empire.
Amazing. Well, maybe not so much, eh, zioFundy Nazi's?
