Taxes are important. President Bush's tax proposals leave no rich person behind. Voters approve of President Bush helping the kind of people they wish they were one of.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The rich support the poor primarily via taxes.
Well, the taxes that everyone else is paying are supporting lots of programs that were in place prior to Obama's new spending. So new spending has too be paid for by new taxes, or by eliminating existing tax breaks. And Obama wants that burden to be borne exclusively by the rich.
I think the rich should pay more in taxes - I agree with that 100 percent - but everybody should feel the pain a little bit.
Elections have to have at least a little meaning. Obama ran on income tax hikes for the wealthy. People knew they were voting for that. They 'want' that. And it's good policy.
Priorities like winning the War on Terror and providing tax relief that will keep our economy growing strong.
The rich aren't like us, they pay less taxes.
The tax code is not the only area where the administration is helping the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It has spent $155 billion for an unnecessary war driven by fear.
The general idea of the rich helping the poor, I think, is important.
Everyone wants the rich to pay more in taxes.
Tax bills create wealth. They help people live better.
