The broad middle class got huge benefits from the Bush tax cuts. Millions came off the tax rolls entirely, and the lowest bracket was cut by one-third.

Again, kool-aiders are not smart enough to know that rich successful people pay 70% of ALL federal taxes.

Maybe those rich successful people should stop paying for a while so the other lazy bums can finally earn their own keep for a change.

47% of American bums do not pay any taxes and yet they consume the goods the rest of us are paying for. That is stealing to me.

Time to make the lower end pay up for using our roads, schools, bridges, etc.

Stop stealing from successful smart people and get lazy welfare bums off the couch to earn their own keep for a change.

Why don't you explain how the hardworking middle class are a bunch of lazy bums? The rich pay 70% of federal taxes, so the middle class are "unsuccessful lazy bums?" Do you think before you blather? Not every person in a lower tax bracket is a lazy bum. Many in the upper tax brackets ARE lazy bums.

How is Paris Hilton a hardworking, successful person? Where would she be without daddy's inheritance? Give me a break. You wanna talk tax policy, that's fine. But lumping the majority of American families into the "Lazy, unsuccessful bum" category is insanity. The middle class built this nation, not the rich. The rich merely stood at the top of the pyramid collecting the revenue, and not always through hard work, blood, and sweat.

Don't believe Gallup. It's skewed. Most people (of any sense) will vote Conservative 80%. That nagging 20% will be dealt with in short order.
