So now the voters want their taxes cut and NOT Obamacare. I do hope the Dems ignore what the voters want and keep trying to ram this crap bill thru Congress

The folks know Obamacare will increase their taxes and do nothing to improve the quality of healthcare in America

Why are Dems so intent on hijacking the healthcare industry? Are they obsessed with power that much?



54% Favor Middle-Class Tax Cuts Over New Spending on Health Care

Friday, October 09, 2009

Most members of the Senate Finance Committee were relieved this week to find that their health care reform plan will cost under $900 billion over the next 10 years and is actually projected to bring the federal deficit down by $81 billion.

But a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that most voters continue to favor middle class tax cuts over spending more money for health care reform.

Thirty-three percent (33%) of voters say new spending for health care reform is more important. But 54% rate middle class tax cuts as the priority over more health care spending. Thirteen percent (13%) aren’t sure.

These findings are identical to ones just before Congress’ August recess and prior to President Obama’s effort to jump start his health care reform initiative with a nationally televised speech to Congress.

Although such an amendment was defeated in a party line vote in the Senate committee, 59% of voters favor putting a provision in the health care plan that would prohibit any new taxes, fees or penalties on families who make less than $250,000 a year.
