87% want tax increases

[Uncensored2008]

{76% ... would be willing to pay 1% more of their income in taxes to help protect Social Security and Medicare for future generations. ... }

POLITICO Morning Money - POLITICO.com

Exact wording of the poll question: "If it is the only way to ensure the continuation of Social Security and Medicare, would you support a 1% tax increase."

A loaded question asked to elicit a bullshit response.

Example: "Would you be willing to cut off your finger if it was the only way to keep your wife from being raped and murdered?

TM posts "88% favor cutting their finger off!"

not what the poll said

and Democrats will have to agree to some spending cuts..​

What were you trying to hide, TM?

they already have you fool

As long as they cut the other guy's handouts and tax somebody else.

Exactly.
I dpn't think I will ever forget when there was a misprint in a flyer sent with the food stamp card to recipients in Indianapolis. The way the sentence was written was that you would get an extra card if you apply at the welfare office. Oh...my....God. There were lines 3 blocks long, the police has to show up in large force to get people to leave because even after an official tried to announce to people that it was a misprint - people refused to leave "without my card".

do you suggest they thought the poll was talking about them giving blood to fix the problem?

Are you suggesting that they couldnt be discussing giving up government programs to fix the budget problems?

Middle class people voting to have middle class taxes raised means what?

do you suggest they thought the poll was talking about them giving blood to fix the problem?

Polling does NOT equal voting.

So much for your use of "facts".

Dear idiot.

that is how they voted in the poll

 

[iamwhatiseem]

55% of Americans pay zero income tax.
So it is within reason to say that 50% of that 86% would still pay no income tax after a 1% increase.

Who exactly is being drug around by Grover Norquist? Can you stop trying to change the subject when you get caught in lies and actually correct yourself for once in your adult life?

Middle class people voting to have middle class taxes raised means what?

It didn't say that, TM.

It stated that middle class should contribute to the solution (which they are right now)

You really can't infer what YOU think it means.

"I am willing to do my part to reduce the national debt, as long as other people also do their part."

Yay.. I guess that means the ~47% who do not contribute to federal income taxes now start contributing like everyone else...

Or is that not what TDM is trying to put across with her word twisting agenda play??
