Poll: Raise Taxes on the Rich
[SIZE=+1] Link[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]
[/SIZE]Americans prefer letting tax cuts expire for the country's top earners, as Obama insists,
while support has declined for cutting government services to curb budget deficits, an poll shows.
Fewer than half the Republicans polled favor continuing the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy.
There's also a reluctance to trim Social Security, Medicare or defense programs, three of the
biggest drivers of federal spending, the survey released Wednesday found. The results could
strengthen Obama's hand in his fiscal cliff duel with Republicans, in which he wants to raise
taxes on the rich and cut spending by less than the GOP wants.
I saw another poll that says IF we go off the fiscal cliff,
it will be the Republican's fault.
In the past, when Obama had the winning hand with the math and the people on his side,
he always caved in to whatever the snarling-dog Republicans demanded.
Will we see the same-old President Mouse?
Or will Obama stand up and act like a man?
