The poll finds that 53 percent of Americans want the Bush-era tax cuts extended only for households earning less than $250,000 per year. That roughly matches the proposal put forth by the White House, which wants to extend the cuts only for incomes less than $250,000 for families and $200,000 for individuals.

The poll finds that 53 percent of Americans want the Bush-era tax cuts extended only for households earning less than $250,000 per year. That roughly matches the proposal put forth by the White House, which wants to extend the cuts only for incomes less than $250,000 for families and $200,000 for individuals.

Just 26 percent of Americans say they support extending the cuts for all Americans, even those earning above the $250,000 level, which is the GOP proposal.

Not to me certainly. The Dem solution of reducing the deficit by increasing taxes by $2.5 trillion does not appeal to me at all—particularly since it doesn’t balance the budget, but just funds more spending.

53% = 10% illegal aliens + 20% communists/welfare cases + 10% students + 13% blacks.

In other words, the people that couldn't tell you what it's like to fill out a 1099 or 1040.

The most accurate poll is probably the actual exit poll taken during the last election. You know, the folks who actually voted.

In the exit poll 40% supported extending them for everyone. 36% supported up to 250k. 15% supported letting them all expire. That still leaves 9%. If that 9% broke down at the same rate as the rest you end up with around 44 for all 39 up to 250k and 17 to expire.

Now, what do you think is more accurate that exit poll of actual voters that found a plurality favor extending them for everyone or some poll from CBS that says only 26% do? Among actual voters around 45% said to extend them for everyone, CBS says it’s only around 25%. Who do you believe?

If this poll be valid, the US population deserve their coming dismal fate.

I fear this poll is fairly accurate although it may have some skewing by the way the question was asked. After all, this type of shallow thinking is how Obama got elected in the first place.

I just wish I wasn’t in the same boat they are going to sink.

Me too.

And let’s remember, Barrack Obama won the election in 2008 — so there have to be at least 20% of those morons still around and being polled.

I strongly doubt the veracity of the polling. I am however greatly concerned that you have decided it is better to cave to the democonpoops. We have no room for compromise. If they get the useless side of the tax cuts; they not only have a tax cut that will fail, but the effect will help them to end capitalism.
There’s a clear need for reeducation in this country.

In the case of Bankers and CEO’s Making and unreasonable amount of money for what the do, then I think they should be taxed to the gills.

If one is not a taxpayer then he/she has no rght to respond to this question and shouldn’t even be asked.
