A plurality of voters (47%) say Barack Obama�s plan to raise taxes on those who earn over $250,000 a year is good for the troubled U.S. economy, even though 51% still believe that lower taxes are the best way to spur economic growth.
Thirty-one percent (31%) disagree with Obama�s proposal, saying raising taxes on these upper-income earners will be bad for the economy, but 16% say the proposal will have no impact, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey....
Men support Obama�s plan to raise taxes on upper-income earners by just four points, but women favor it more than two-to-one.
Only 19% of Republicans think it�s a good idea, compared to 70% of Democrats. Fifty-nine percent (59%) of GOP voters oppose the tax hike for those earning more than $250,000, versus just 11% of Democrats. Unaffiliated voters like the proposal 47% to 26%.
So basically, Democratic women are the ones most likely to support raising taxes on the top earners. That's probably good since they might possibly be the only ones left working after men and Republicans decide it's not worth the trouble to pay a good deal of their income for programs they don't want, should Obama be elected. Maybe all the feminists who want women to make more than men can finally do some good. If women--especially of the Democrat persuasion--make more money, then they can foot the bills and pay the taxes. Probably, though, like child support or alimony, they will complain so much if they have to pay that this tax will be easy to change.
