The first polls are out since the unveiling of the Ryan Plan and the Obama response to it. It appears that a majority of Americans are in favor of including an increased tax rate on those making over $250,000 per year as part of the deficit-reduction mix.
Democrats favor it overwhelmingly. Republicans less so, but it?s still a majority. Even rich people favor it. They have said they feel they ought to pay more, but no one is asking them to. The only ones who don?t favor it are the Tea Partiers, who are against raising taxes of any kind, but these same Tea Partiers have indicated in the same polls that they don?t want Medicare to be fooled with. So they shouldn?t be taken seriously, anyway. You can?t have it both ways.
