Default OT-Higher taxes

Voters support higher taxes on the wealthy by a margin of better than 2 to
1, according to a new poll Thursday.

Sixty-five percent of voters back increased taxes for Americans making more
than $250,000 a year, while 31 percent oppose, according to a Quinnipiac
University poll released. Democrats support that measure 84-14 percent, and
independents are in favor of the tax hikes 66-31 percent. Republicans, on
the other hand, oppose such tax increases 53-41 percent, the poll found.

The poll also showed that voters overwhelmingly oppose cutting Medicaid
spending, 70-25 percent. Voters surveyed also oppose gradually raising the
Medicare eligibility age, 51-44 percent, and don't support cuts to military
spending by a margin of 55-41 percent. Those surveyed also said a "no-taxes"
pledge isn't a good idea, 85-10 percent.

Default OT-Higher taxes

I did a poll of my household. Found 100% of the people oppose tax hikes of
any form.
