Hill Poll: Likely voters prefer lower individual, business tax rates

Three-quarters of likely voters believe the nation’s top earners should pay lower, not higher, tax rates, according to a new poll for The Hill. Likely voters said the appropriate rate was 30% (the current top rate is 35%) and only 4% thought Obama’s preferred rate of 40% was the correct one. Gosh, it kinda makes one think all the recent Democrat-media gum-flapping about the rich not paying their “fair share” was just manipulative political bull feces, don’t it?

  • People who for whatever reason will not or cannot be rich, like people who are rich to come into their lives or businesses in order to get that money and pay their bills and save and put toward college or education funds for their kids. It is normal, it is sane. Most people are like this. The fools that aren't like this are in essence stumbling blocks to pursuits of happiness, because they are envious and stupid.

  • Chairman Obamema is not worried. His massive voter block of the dead all support his policies by a margin 800 percent or more.

  • Looks like the wells gone dry for the days of free entitlement spending, how will Dirty Harry ever get to promote Cowboy Yodeling like this?

  • 75% of likely voters turn out to be racist...and mean.

    DNC propagandists hit hardest with their lack of effect.
