69% of America: Rescind Bush tax cuts on rich

[deminks]

As a battle over the Bush tax cuts looms in Congress, a new CNN/Opinion Research poll found on Friday that a large majority of the public wants them to expire for the wealthy.

A whopping 69 percent said the tax breaks for individuals making over $200,000 – and families making over $250,000 – annually should expire at the end of this year.

Eighty-one percent favor extending them for Americans making less than that, which both parties largely agree with.

2. 31% of the conservative

greedy VS 69% of the needy ,and the greedy crooks and their supporters feel they should continue welfare for the wealthy.

4. Of those 31%, the vast majority are deluded self-hating Stockholm syndrome sufferers. -nt

6. I'd bet that among the 31%, perhaps half of them don't really

know what it's really all about.

3. Sounds like it would be a winner to take this farther and actually RAISE the very wealthys' taxes.

The polls are in favor of soaking those that don't believe we are in a depression because they are taking money hand over fist from the rest of us.

5. Let's just tell the haters that we want to put their taxes back to the level...

They were at when St. Ronnie was Prez... that'll fix 'em!

in Missouri..

With Democrats like this.... we don't need Republicans.

8. Democrats like that are Republicans - they are simply in (D)rag

Unfortunately although few they control our party from the inside at the very top, like a cancer or an infection.

10. The rage out there on this issue has surprised me. I had a LTTE

printed Wednesday on this issue. I have had several emails from people I know, two phone calls from people who I have never met, and a letter came to the house anonymously. Every one of these people were so glad to see this side of the argument, and they are mad as hell. Good.

11. The same public whose majority supported a public option!? The politicians always listen

...to them! :thumbsup:

12. I recall Candidate Obama pledging to rescind the bu$h tax cuts to fund his economic policies.

Instead, we got, by EO, the cat food commission. Give to the rich!

13. Agreed

i am just not very happy with our Democratic Party at this time.

[LiberalAndProud]

14. Surely the other party knows this from internal polling.

So why do they continue to shoot themselves in the foot? A couple theories present themselves to my mind, but generally I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories.

15. Unfortunately that 69% is greatly outnumbered... by the top 1%.
