Missy your statement was ?You know the fuisnent part of this is that 77% are actually ok with paying more taxes??Gallup poll on taxes:Q: Do you consider the amount of federal income tax you have to pay as too high, about right, or too low?In 2012: Too High: 47% About Right: 46% That?s a far cry from 77%Q: For each one, please say whether you are?very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied.The amount Americans pay in federal taxes? [(asked of those dissatisfied)-Would you like to see the amount Americans pay in federal income taxes increased, decreased, or remain about the same?]Jan 7-10, 2013 Total satisfied 36%; Dissatisfied, want increased 5%; Dissatisfied, want decreased 40%; Dissatisfied, remain same 15%; No opinion 4%The 5% who want taxes increased fall about 72% short of your 77%. And the 40% who want it decreased is a lot larger than your 23%, especially if you factor in the 36% who are totally satisfied.Here?s one from December found in Politico. However notice the source of the poll:Poll: President Obama voters split on deficit?A survey of 800 Obama voters, conducted last month by Benenson Strategy Group for the moderate Democratic think tank Third Way and shared first with POLITICO, finds that 96 percent believe the federal deficit is a problem and that 85 percent support increasing taxes on the wealthy. Yet 41 percent who supported the Democratic incumbent want to get control of the deficit mostly by cutting spending, with only some tax increases, while another 41 percent want to solve it mostly with tax increases and only some spending cuts.Eight in 10 Obama supporters feel strongly that both Democrats and Republicans ?need to make real compromises to come to an agreement on fixing the deficit.? Two in three believe it is ?immoral? to leave future generations with $16 trillion in debt. Three in four agree that reducing the deficit will help grow the economy.Benefitspro Dec 2012:Tax increases, spending cuts earn public supportForty-three percent of Americans believe that a combination of spending cuts and tax increases are needed to solve the looming fiscal cliff, according to the results of a new national survey.Thirty-seven percent believe cutting spending alone is the best way to handle the deficit and 8 percent think tax increases are the solution, according to the Emerson College Polling Society.Again, no sign of 77% Now notice missy I didn't use fox news. Unlike you I used various sources, even one that was purley democratic. Your problem is you keep going back to the same echo chamber to see what like minded people have to tell you then you regurgitate what they say. Other than your ramblings about chickens I don't think you actually have ever had one original thought.The problem with alternet is that is highly biased. It makes fox news look neutral (and yes, fox news is biased). Ask yourself if alternet has ever supported anything that wasn't left leaning? It's you missy, not us, who lives in a bubble. You should try and get out.You stated that 77% are actually ok with higher taxes and once again you can't back it up because you made it up like everything else in your fantasy world.
