Aren't they now the Obama-era tax cuts?
How about ya QUIT SPENDING, hmmm?
“Sixty-one percent of Americans polled would rather see taxes for the wealthy increased as a first step to tackling the deficit, the poll showed.”
ah, it seems Reuters has been polling the 1000 people who still watch PMS NBC and think the rich is the other guys
Funny, I thought the poll in November said that exact opposite. And it is the only poll that matters.
Now go poll the people who actually pay taxes and see what results you get.
Ferget it—cutting spending is NEVER an option for liberals.
Tax the rich and cut defense speninding sounds like they only polled liberals.
I say we strip every penny away from people like George Soros since he feels such a need to interfere.
Try this poll question:
To cut the deficit reduce welfare, food stamp payments by 50%.
Let’s just start there and force folks back into the workforce and generating payroll taxes.
And I do mean people taking jobs below their “pay grades.” Time to get off your duff and get back to ANY kind of work.
Oh, yeah... there's a poll we can trust.
A study we conducted at the Tax Policy Center found that Washington would have to raise taxes by almost 40 percent to reduce -- not eliminate, just reduce -- the deficit to 3 percent of our GDP, the 2015 goal the Obama administration set in its 2011 budget. That tax boost would mean the lowest income tax rate would jump from 10 to nearly 14 percent, and the top rate from 35 to 48 percent.
What if we raised taxes only on families with couples making more than $250,000 a year and on individuals making more than $200,000? The top two income tax rates would have to more than double, with the top rate hitting almost 77 percent, to get the deficit down to 3 percent of GDP. Such dramatic tax increases are politically untenable and still wouldn't come close to eliminating the deficit.
...another poo poll
The mentality is outrageous.
No responsibility for the jerks they elected, but lets just confiscate the wealth of others we don’t know as long as our wallets are not involved.
WW2 produced the GREATEST generation, and now we have the most irresponsible generations.
who'd they poll,illegals?
Where did foreign aid of all kinds come in? It is difficult to believe that USA must remain a benfactor for so many foreign projects when the contributing people for such aid are screaming for their own relief.

“Reuters”
61 percent of Americans are complete idiots with no clue about economics!
raising taxes on ‘the rich’ will not bring nearly enough revenue to do anything.
The government must cut entitlement spending and the rest of the crap they spend money on.
YOU CAN NOT BALANCE THE BUDGET BY TAXING THE RICH OR TAXING ABYONE FOR THAT MATTER. GET A CLUE!
You balance a budget by simply not spending more money then you have access too.
No matter how much money the Federal Government EXPECTS to get by any tax rate, they will WITHOUT A DOUBT spend more then they take in. It is the nature of Government to want to grow. It only grows by creating more programs. More programs cost mopre money.
Until the people say NO MORE NEW PROGRAMS NO MORE TAXES NO MORE DEBT RAISING nothing is ever going to change.
“60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll”
Yep, completely unbiased group of participants there....
That’s why we’ve always opposed Mob Rule. Once they figure out they can vote themselves the keys to the treasury, it’s all over.
