A majority of voters say they have not benefited from the payroll tax holiday that lawmakers are working to extend through the rest of this year, according to this week’s poll conducted for The Hill.
The poll lends some credence to GOP arguments that many taxpayers didn’t notice they were getting more money in their paychecks.
Didn't the dems LEARN from the stimulus? $13 dollars twice a month is hardly noticed. Same with this avg of $40 per paycheck.

The Hill Poll shows that voters favor Republicans over Democrats on tax policy, with 45 percent saying the GOP has a better approach, compared to 41 percent for Democrats.
You bet they do. Stopping the obamanomic train wreck of overspending.
The real issue ought to be the blatant and shameless double-standard that republicans use to apply tax fairness. Raise taxes and eliminate tax breaks for the lower wage workers while lowering taxes for those who have enough disposable income to pay for hundreds of mortgages.
Personally, I wouldn't cry if the tax cut ended, but it's fundamentally wrong to take away a tax break for those who are underemployed while leaving in place historically low tax breaks for the super wealthy. I don't think either party has all the right ideas on taxes, but the republicans seem to have all of the wrong ones. That and their game of political brinkmanship and willing to take the U.S. economy over the rails to preserve the policies which pamper them. It's not only fundamentally wrong but it's just bad economics.
Who are YOU or anyone else to say what $13 could do for a family in this economy. My goodness, don't your voice get tired of speaking for everyone?
