Poll: Americans Split on Ryan, Obama Budget Plans

G.R. of TX _ If you want to bring racist into this then let’s bring racism into it.

Democrats was the racist and Republican party supported the blacks. So if any old people are going to be racist would be Al Gore’s father (which he was):

“The Democrat Race Lie"

“This whopper deserves all the attention it can get. Again, it shows the ignorance and contempt of the electorate liberals depend on.”

G.R. writes “America's seniors are also more likely to be racist and homophobic and have, on average, lower IQs than those in the 18-29 age group."

You have proof of this ? Can I say you SPECULATE ? Anyone who is qualified to vote should.

_____

G.R. says “Evidence-based economics would tend to show that in the long run, everyone (including the rich!) is better off when the government provides more services at the cost of a somewhat higher tax rate.”

And your proof is ???

Enough fun. You provide opinions with no evidence. Which is fine.

Polls was against obamacare when they passed obamacare and polls are still against obamcare. CBO has crunched the numbers and obamcare causes debt. Debt is what this is all about. Government has spent the piggy banks of S/S, medicare, etc..Number of tax payers who support each S/S recipient keeps dropping. With little in kitty, something must changed.

There was a reason for Nov. 2, 2010. There is a reason for liberal numbers dropping.

"CBO: Obama Budget $2.3 Trillion Worse Than Claimed"

"The CBO estimates that ten years of deficits would add up to $9.5 trillion under the Obama plan and by 2021 the debt held by the public would total 87 percent of gross domestic product."

"CBO concludes that s, “if all of the President's budgetary proposals were enacted, they would add $26 billion to the baseline deficit for 2011. As a result, the 2011 deficit would total $1.43 trillion, or 9.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP).”

This poll you mention, Mr. Roff, does not ask people about specifics.

If asked whether peole want to have Medicare go to a voucher system, overwhelmingly they do not. If asked whether they want to seek medical insurance in the open market as a senior, a large majority says heck no! If asked if they want to have huge tax cuts for big business and subsidies continued for oil and agribusiness, the answer again is "no way". If they are asked if tax rates for the top 1% should rise, the answer is YES. These questions, when not stated in political terms, are 65-85% anti-Ryan Plan proposals.

In 2008 there were over 142 million tax returns filed. Of them -

993,503 earned more than a $$$$ half million/ that year and paid NO TAXES AT ALL. 34,870 more taxpayers earned more than a $$$$ half million/ that year and did pay taxes. So a million people making 10 times what an average family makes PAID NO TAXES Another 17 million making $100k-$500k also paid NO TAXES. SO - if we had the 18 million making over $100k pay any taxes at all - that would not be such a hardship - and could help pay off some of the debt? Let's put their money straight to the debt instead of current expenditures. If half paid $ 5,000 instead of zero - and the other half paid $10,000 instead of zero, that would be $137 BILION a year more to pay off the debt. See-it's easy to pay off old bills if everyone contributes....

We all want the budget to balance and the debt to be paid. Let's not twist the wishes of the public in an attempt to obscure the real issue - until we raise taxes on the wealthy and seriously cut defense, the problems will never be solved....
