America Is a Liberal Nation: Poll Finds Huge Support For Tax Hike On The Wealthy

America continues to move to the left as President Obama’s proposal to increase capital gains taxes on the wealthy was supported by a 56%-14% margin in a new AP/GfK poll.
The poll found:
According to the poll, 68 percent of those questioned said wealthy households pay too little in federal taxes; only 11 percent said the wealthy pay too much.
Also, 60 percent said middle-class households pay too much in federal taxes while 7 percent said they paid too little.
….
Obama laid out a series of tax proposals as part of his 2016 budget released this month. Few are likely to win approval in the Republican-controlled Congress. But if fellow Democrats were to embrace his ideas, they could play a role in the 2016 race.
One proposal would increase capital gains taxes on households making more than $500,000. In the survey, 56 percent favored the proposal while only 16 percent opposed it.
Democrats, at 71 percent, were the most likely to support raising taxes on capital gains. Among Republicans and independents, 46 percent supported it.

and now for my next trick:
fair share of taxes. Increasing the taxes on the super-rich could be easily accomplished
by removing the loop-holes (a euphemism for "legal cheating"
. This is one of the many
big and important items the rich are getting away with.
Another example of a big item would be pollution of the environment, which is not only
creating havoc for human beings, but is also responsible for the extinction of hundreds, if
not thousands, of species of animals. Corporations deny it, of course, but the vast
majority of Americans know they are lying so as to make more profit. They couldn't
care less about human and animal lives, as long as big profits are to be made. Yet
corporations have been always getting their way thus far.
The majority of us know that corporation-led industries are among the most dishonest,
crooked and corrupt of people. They are responsible for our nation's decay and degeneration. The present-day financial inequality of the haves from the have-nots
has increased some ten times in the last 40 years alone.
This makes me wonder, what percentage of Americans really vote Republican during election time, when their lying, crooked ways are known by most Americans? In short,
does any non-Republican know to what degree fraudulent voting is being carried out
by them? We all have heard of some of their dirty tricks during election time:
gerrymandering, Republican-made electronic voting machines, making picture ID-cards
mandatory before one can vote (and which the poor can't afford).....etc. ad infinitum.....
If we add the dirty tricks and the number of false, dishonest votes together, my impression is that the percentage of cheating going on must be enormous. My guess is that they are running, at the very least, into the double-digits
We are dealing with gangsters and Al Capones, and such people should not even be
allowed to run for high office, in the first place.
This has been going on for several decades. What would it take to make a Democrat
mad enough to want to fight back == and fight back effectively against being taken advantage of and having been abused for such a long time?
I sometimes wonder if the Republicans have ever won any general election
honestly in the past 40 years. Yet they are officially winning roughly half the time.
