Gallup Poll: Huge Support For Obama Tax Proposals
President Obama’s proposal to tax the super-wealthy is approved by most Americans. A new poll from Gallup shows that 66% of respondents support the President’s plan to increase taxes on those making more than a quarter-million dollars a year.
The poll also shows that 70% support cutting corporate loopholes to generate taxes from corporations. Gallup’s poll even shows that a majority of Republicans support this proposal.
Republicans have defended millionaires escaping taxes, accusing President Obama of waging “class warfare.” The President responded, saying “I reject the idea that asking a hedge fund manager to pay the same tax rate as a plumber or a teacher is class warfare. I think it’s just the right thing to do.” [Gallup]
