New Poll Confirms Country is Clearly Progressive

Impressed, right?  Hold your breath. 

DUmmy Joanne98 manages to twist the most improbable story she can find into a positive for the Obama left...

New Poll Confirms Country is Clearly Progressive
   
New poll out indicates that the country is clearly, massively, overwhelmingly progressive. While they talk about cutting so-called entitlement programs in Washington, the American people have completely different priorities.

Sixty-one percent of Americans polled would rather see taxes for the wealthy increased as a first step to tackling the deficit, the poll showed.

The next most popular way -- chosen by 20 percent -- was to cut defense spending.

Watch out, folks... it's a landslide.  :whatever:

It SHOULD be 0 for, 100 against if these idiots were truly Americans! We don't have a revenue problem in D.C., we have a SPENDING problem!  :censored:

Don't spend like drunken Damn sailors in a Filipino whorehouse and then think you can just raise taxes to pay for your drunkenness, and when they oppose, you have the audacity to have a problem with it and blame them?

****! I hate f'n liberals!  :censored:

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Judging from the link, this was an excellent poll; the DUmp could not have done better. The other two choices were "cut Medicare" and "cut Social Security".

The number of American adults calling themselves Republicans in December increased by one percentage point from November to 37.0%.
Also in December, the number calling themselves Democrats fell by a point to 33.7%.
Those figures reflect the largest number of Republicans in the nation since December 2004 and the lowest number of Democrats ever recorded in tracking since November 2002.

Suck it DUmmies.

You can add this to it too, this is from 2009 but there was 1 done in 2010 and liberalism went down 1 point and conservatism went up a few points:

"Conservatives" Are Single-Largest Ideological Group
Percentage of "liberals" higher this decade than in early '90s
by Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ -- Thus far in 2009, 40% of Americans interviewed in national Gallup Poll surveys describe their political views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal. This represents a slight increase for conservatism in the U.S. since 2008, returning it to a level last seen in 2004. The 21% calling themselves liberal is in line with findings throughout this decade, but is up from the 1990s.

27. A tax hike to the rich would lead to more hiring
 Much more than a tax cut.

Reason number 1 - if given a choice whether or not to pay taxes - most people prefer NOT to pay taxes. If the tax rates were high enough - the wealthy would actively look for ways to invest it instead of just sitting on it.
  Is this DUmmie saying that if you have some income, and you invest it, you have exempted this income from tax?

29. you're talking about a wealth tax
 from a purely incentive aspect, the combination of a high tax on wealth and a low (or no) tax on income would provide a tremendous disincentive to hoarde wealth. private art collectors would be strongly encouraged to open up their collections to public viewing to offset the wealth tax, for instance.

It would be funnier still if the ****up-In-Chief in the White House wasn't DOING the very things DUmmies post about concerning economics and taxes.   :argh:
