Sixty-four percent of Americans said they believe those making a million dollars or more in taxes should pay more.

First I don't trust CBS to do accurate polls.
Second, how many of those troglodytes understand that increasing taxes on the rich won't reduce the decifit?
And last, how many of these troglodytes know that the top 1% already pay roughly 40% of the Federal Tax.

Conduct a poll on people who already know these things and you will get a very different result. The average smuck out there simply doesn't appreciate how much taxes the rich already. They have been misinformed by the MSM.

They forgot to mention they took the poll outside Wall Street under a tarp. Did they ask anybody that actually pays taxes or has a job?

If you TAKE money from a millionaire and GIVE to a poor guy for nothing, the millionaire will eventually run out of money.
What if the millionaires could HIRE poor people so they could WORK and EARN money instead.
The result of that work could be SOLD for more money and the process could continue, or even grow.

Oh, a system like that already exists you say? Or at least used to?
Who would have thought!

Too bad Obama’s “Millionaire Tax” applies to those making $250k.

I’m actually somewhat impressed they could not manipulate that approve number higher than 64%

Why the half measures?

While we’re at it, we should enact laws that provide for the scarification of the beautiful, and the amputation of the limbs of the athletic.

This really should be followed by lobotomies for everyone with a higher than average IQ and/or advanced degrees.

And, for goodness’ sake, why is it that you feel you have the right to own a car that goes faster than mine!

Should women with a refined fashion sense be allowed to wear more beautiful outfits than other women?

No, of course not!

And why is it that the government sits idly by and allows those with a gift for the use of the language to become successful writers???

That is clearly unfair!

The government I’m looking for would not only rob the rich, it would, in fact, see to it that everyone in America is just as stupid as I am; just as ugly as I am; just as spastic as I am; just as untalented as I am.

It’s the only way to be fair.

Ask this question:

If increasing taxes on the rich might threaten your job, would you still be in favor of it?

Please try these questions:
Should taxes on reporters be increased?
Should taxes on politicians be increased?
Should taxes on movie stars be increased?

I’d be shocked if the percentages weren’t higher than on millionaires.

Amazing poll, since approximately 98% of the people that follow CBS don't pay taxes and only 64% of them feel “millionaires" should pay taxes then only 64% of deadbeats want to raise taxes.
