The Public Is On Your Side

Any Democrats in Congress skittish about repealing the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy should read this polling from National Journal ASAP!

Regarding the tax cuts, 30 percent of Americans believe all of Bush's 2001 and 2003 cuts should stay in place. That compared to 31 percent who believed that all of them should be repealed. Twenty-seven percent take the route Obama campaigned on: Tax cuts for the wealthy should be repealed, while the others should stay in place.

Among those making more than $75,000, 26 percent said only the tax cuts for the wealthy should be repealed. For those making $30,000 to $74,999, 31 percent concurred. And among those making less than $30,000, 28 percent said the tax cuts for the wealthy should be overturned.


Independents hewed closest to the overall sample. Twenty-seven percent said all the tax cuts should be kept in place. Thirty-two percent said they all should be repealed. Twenty-seven percent said the tax cuts for the wealthy should be repealed, but the middle class cuts should be kept in place.

For those scoring at home 59% of INDEPENDENTS support repealing some or all of the Bush tax cuts.

This is a no brainer at this point and any Democrat who can't see that simply doesn't want to. And for those who don't want to?

We are coming after your ass...
