<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">New CBS News poll out confirms every other poll we’ve seen on the topic – the American people are solidly against tax cuts for the rich.
<span style='font-size: 14pt'>53% of respondents said there should only be tax cuts for the middle class and no tax cuts for people making over $250,000.</span> That’s the number most people in the media are using, but that’s not quite accurate. Another 14% said they don’t want tax cuts for anybody, including the top bracket. <span style='font-size: 17pt'>So, the reality is that an overwhelming 67% of the country don’t want tax cuts for the rich (including 52% of Republican voters!). Only 26% said that everyone should get a tax cut, including the rich.
</span>
So, let’s do the math for people who are a little slow. That’s 67% to 26%. That’s a crushing 41% lead. If it was an election, that margin would be so large they would think it was rigged. The group that doesn’t want tax cuts for the rich is more than two and half times the group that does.
If that weren’t enough, there is an internal memo being sent around to Democrats on the Hill by Anzalone Liszt Research that shows that 77% of Americans would let the Bush tax cuts for the rich expire if the extra money went toward helping small businesses and balancing the budget. 77%!!!
Now, as a politician, how stupid do you have to be on the other side of this issue? . . . </div></div>
