74 Percent Of Republicans Think Deficit Reduction Should Include Tax Increases And Spending Cuts |

According to a new Gallup poll, only one in five Americans agree with Congressional Republicans that deficit reduction should be based on spending cuts alone. That includes 74 percent of Republicans who agree that a responsible deficit reduction plan should include both tax increases and spending cuts. The new data flies in the face of claims by GOP leaders that Americans adamantly oppose tax increases to reduce the country’s deficit.

3. The rich Republicans who do not want to pay taxes are the only

ones who matter--they are that 26%. Why are Democratic
Groups not running ads in Republican Districts explaining
what is really going on.

6. My darling life long Republican Faux watching husbands says

"Tax the MILLIONAIRES".
Apparently, his party doesn't care about the peons in their party. However, they better watch out. It won't be the first time he has voted for a Third Party candidate. As we all know, that helped Bill Clinton to win. Any Third Party candidates out their today?

count as "the american people" they claim to represent?
