I call absolute BULL CRAP on this poll..

I guarantee their sampling distribution is beyond effed up... or their questioning was biased.

I don't know whether or not this poll is correct, but even if close, the Left has the country on a dangerous path. Conservatives have lost the message as to why a high tax environment is a bad thing.

Those that want higher taxes believe that with each dollar taken in by the government somehow gets multiplied back to the city, state, or country, for the benefit of all. No one asks the questions, "what are we getting for our taxes?" or "how much is enough?"

The job of the citizenry should not to endorse an endless stream of taxes to federal, state and local governments. We need to be better stewards of both government AND our own pocketbooks.
