The drivel just won’t stop.
A pundit named Froma Harrop says:
Poll after poll shows that the American people want higher taxes. That’s not the same as liking higher taxes. The people have simply concluded that higher taxes are preferable to the alternative
A Quinnipiac poll found that 69 percent, including nearly half of Republicans, want taxes raised on households making more than $250,000.
Let’s think about that for a moment.
About 2% of Americans are in households making over $250,000.
About 70% of Americans – who presumably earn less than $250,00 – say that taxes should be hiked on the top 2% so that they don’t lose any government handouts.
That doesn’t surprise me.
What does surprise me is that 28% of Americans say – don’t raise taxes on other people just so I can keep my handouts.
Wonder why they don’t poll people on the question: “Do you want YOUR taxes to be jacked up to support out-of-control government spending?”
I bet that fewer than 70% say “sign me up”.
It’s a lot easier to support taxing the other guy …
