55% Oppose Tax Hike In Debt Ceiling Deal (So much for Hussein's 80%)
Rasmussen Reports ^ | 14 July 2011 | S Rasmussen

Posted on 07/16/2011 11:29:47 AM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

As the Beltway politicians try to figure out how they will raise the debt ceiling and for how long, most voters oppose including tax hikes in the deal.

Just 34% think a tax hike should be included in any legislation to raise the debt ceiling...55% disagree and say it should not.

Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Democrats want a tax hike...82% of Republicans do not. Among [Independents], 35% favor a tax hike and 51% are opposed.

This little nugget tells you all you need to know. It is the 49% of people who pay no taxes (of course they are Dems).

Once again, Democrat politicians are insisting on something that isn’t popular. See also, Obamacare, illegal immigration, etc. etc.

The Lying piece of SHI* in the WH said 80%.

So lets make him remember how he jumped the shark with this, the all time mother of all 0bama Lies (so far).

If GHW Bush’s “read my lips” cost him his reelection then this must become 0bama’s Waterloo.

This man’s strategy from day 1 was to architect exactly this outcome. Where he would gratuitously overspend, enact the largest entitlement Program in History, and use all of this to pull the trigger on a tax increase SO LARGE that it would transform this country into the Entitlement Utopia of a Socialist Republic.

But you have to give it to the Left because since Reagan cleaned their clocks they have LEARNED.

In the past they would Tax and Spend, now they do it the other way around and this makes their move to Socialism unstoppable.

They now have a gun to the head of America and look happy to pull the trigger, IF they are not allowed their desire to spend and tax their way to Socialism.

And 49% of the people, who pay NO taxes, are probably in favor of a tax hike. When does the tax war start?

If 1 million of us stood our ground on Apr 15th and refused to file and send the bastards any more money, that would send a message to the thieves that we aren't going to comply anymore.

What are they gonna do throw 1 million of us in jail? Besides, if we could pull that off, then there would be a groundswell of support and we could very well take the whole friggin system down.

Even Clinton or any of the other demobulbs didn’t lie so much - it’s hard to listen too.

What about this LIE (no taxes on people making less than 25k).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8erePM8V5U

And see how he makes fun of how people would call him a “tax and spend” liberal in this one...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJVMWjTQh_Y&NR=1&feature=fvwp

And NOW, as we sit with HIM holding a loaded gun to our heads today...he tells us we its time to EAT our Peas!!!!!

F’ me, how the public has such a short memory.

Well at least 48% of them least.

Funny how he touted that 80% of the ‘Merican Peepl stuff when in the prior news conference he said we were all too stoopid to understand what was going on and to leave it to the “professionals”

I can’t think of any phrase more “worthy” than “Liar In Chief.” Unless it could be “TOTAL LOSER!”

Wait just a minute! 55 + 80, that’s only 135% of the 200%, that O.J. Simpson asserted he was innocent of. All’s fine, what do the remaining 65% think? (They might have been busy watching the Anthony trial and being on the jury.)
