70% of Political Class more services/higher taxes |
2010-10-22 |
Most voters (65%) say they prefer a government with fewer services and lower taxes rather than one with more services and higher taxes. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that only 25% of Likely U.S. Voters favor a government with more services and higher taxes instead. Consistent with past polling, most Republicans (86%) and the majority (77%) of voters not affiliated with either political party prefer a smaller government, while most Democrats (50%) favor a more active one. But nearly one-third (32%) of Democrats now like a government with fewer services and lower taxes. As is often the case, there is a noticeable divide between the Political Class and Mainstream voters: 70% of the Political Class supports more services and higher taxes, while 78% of Mainstream voters prefer fewer services and lower taxes. More reason to get rid of our "Political Class". Also, in another poll 46% of Americans see the federal government as the major threat to their rights and liberties. I swear, the corrupticrats in charge are really trying to start a revolution. |

#3 70% of the Political Class supports more services and higher taxes...paid for by others FIFY. There is no legal prohibition upon donations to the Treasury. So, they're all writing very very generous checks upon their own holdings, right? /rhet question |

#1 in another poll 46% of Americans see the federal government as the major threat to their rights and liberties. We're not going to make much progress until a MAJORITY of those who ACTUALLY VOTE share those beliefs. Until then (or until/unless the bottom falls out of the Ship of State), it will be business as usual. |
