It is just a rouse anyway, if he gets re-elected, he will raise taxes next year. That said, small businesses are important too.

and it won't just be raised on those making over $200/250K either.

The tax cuts should be extended to all who make under $250000 indivdual and $500000 married family. These figures should be indexed annually based upon the SS increasse in the rate of inflation.

Any person / family making over those two amounts should be tax at a higher rate.

Of course, "I know" that the tax cuts should not be extended to people making more than $250,000.
This poll is idiotic, I like a lot better their poll about buyers shopping in the nude in a German supermarket.

So a good question would be: would you go to the nearest IRS office in the nude if you could pay the same tax rate as Mitt "Tax Credit" Romney"?

I've wondered the same thing; there is a Sodahead widget on their website with this same question. I wonder if this is a paid advertisement generated by Sodahead, rather than content provided by ABC News. It looks like an ad:

I think the purpose is to generate traffic from ABC News to Sodahead. Strange that there is not a link on Sodahead to ABC News (or not strange, if my hypothesis is right and this is a paid advertisement for Sodahead).

Thanks. Actually, SH sometimes posts polls which are apparently real ABC News polls, but I have noticed that the answers run into the thousands, although the demographic breakdown applies only to the SH members who have answered the poll.

JEEZIS "ABC News Money" Give us real options like:
Tax cuts for tax payers making less than $250,000
Tax cuts for tax payers making less than $150,000
Tax cuts for tax payers making less than $ 75,000
Tax Increase for tax payers making more than $250,000
Tax Increase for tax payers making more than $500,000
I am in favor of the rich also learning what it is like to Not Have Absolutely Everything In The World Handed To Them On A Silver Platter. When there are Homeless Vets Homeless Families and People struggling from paycheck to pay check to survive.
AND FOR Pete sake don't report that this poll is in favor of tax cuts for all Americans.
This is why poll results are Bull$#!^

If the ONLY way these republican TOADIES for the 1% are going to consider ending tax cuts for the rich is hold tax cuts for EVERYBODY hostage, then F-'EM, RAISE my taxes (I make less that 50000 a year).

PLEASE, RAISE MY TAXES so that the rich f***s will pitch in their damn share.

Self-regarding, selfish and arrogant rich a-holes.

It has to do with these clowns stepping up and showing a little humanity.

I don't envy their five homes or weekly waxing treatments or stables of dressage horses.
I fear their casual wielding of ignorant power and their lizard hearts.

That includes the rich. All those taxes could make the rich, not rich-and they usually control big industries that issue middle-class or (MCdonalds) minim-wage class.
