Do 80% of AMERICANS want to pay higher taxes like OBAMA claims?

No, but 80% of Americans want the wealthy to pay more in taxes, like Obama claimed.

If want to reduce deficits, get the money from Wall Street. Main Street can't afford anymore cutbacks, at least not with the current economy. So either get Joe Millionaire to pony up more cash, or focus on economic growth instead of debt reduction. Economic growth and debt reduction do not go hand-in-hand like Republicans claim. Cutting spending takes money out of our economy just as much as raising taxes do.

Most Americans want lower taxes and want somebody else to pay higher taxes than them. We should tax consumption and not income. Fair is fair. Fair is not someone pays nothing, and someone pays 39%. I don't give a rat's *** if I am rich. Why do I pay more than the next guy because I make more money. You go make more money yourself and pay tax.

Taxing consumption encourages everyone to make as much money as they can make. And that's good for society. Eliminate this entitlement belief that we have and get better. What a bunch of losers those liberals are. Just sorry losers.

the government can't supply you something that it hasn't first taken from somebody else. a cutting-edge study discovered that 40% of our united states relies upon on the government for help. This comparable study confirmed yet another impressive stat. for the time of the presidental campaign, the aspects that supported McCain had homicide value of three according to one hundred,000. Obama help aspects had a homicide value of 17 according to one hundred,000. The intense crime recommend very adverse living situations. while a candidate supplies you to unfold the weath around, wager who his supporters are going to be. The wellness Care plan is merely Obama's concept of spreading the wealth around. wellness Care Reform is mandatory. no person denies that. Obama's wellness Care bill has some solid factors, yet can we decide for 2700 pages to deal with those 4-5 solid issues. no depend if it is so large, then why did Congress write in exemptions for themselves. Exemptions from what? what's on the different 2699 pages that no person is analyzing or telling you approximately. awaken usa. it is no longer somebody else's subject. the yank all and sundry is the only ones who can restore this. Re-pick noone. Vote all of them out and we could start up over.

The question on your Rasmussen polls do not even ask the question.

1*How closely have you followed recent news reports about the federal budgetdebate in Congress?

2*Will the spending cuts proposed by Congressional Republicans significantlyreduce federal spending and deficits or will they have little impact on overalllevels of spending and deficits?

3*Congress never passed a budget for 2011, but authorized spending for a fewmonths. That authorization will expire soon and Congress must act quickly orsome federal government services could be shut down. As Congress authorizesspending for the rest of 2011, should they authorize spending at the samelevels as last year, authorize less spending than last year, or authorize morespending than last year?

It's the liberals that want taxes to increase. That way, there would be more money for the "free" programs. But, you are right too. His claim is pure Socialism. By claiming that percentage, he is saying the American people want Socialism.

heck no. The dollar has gone. when i hit the atm here in the philippines, i get 9 bucks worth of peso less than i got a year ago. His facts come from 2 much crack as a kid

I have long since learned to take everything Obama says with a good deal of skepticism.

Obama is referring to a new Gallup poll.

Only 20% favor the GOP proposal to cut spending only. All the others prefer either a combination of spending cuts and tax increases or just tax increases.

This one is pretty easy to understand.

I think that 80% of Americans want lower taxes

He probably polled those Americans who don't even pay taxes, but stand to benefit from the higher taxes from those of us who actually do pay
