No surprise here.
Just six percent (6%) of voters nationwide now expect their own taxes to go down during the Obama years. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 42% expect their taxes to go up while 40% expect little change. Another 12% are not sure.
This is the first time since last November’s election that the number expecting a tax cut has fallen to single digits. During Election 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama promised to cut taxes for 95% of Americans. When he was elected, 22% expected a tax cut. That number has been trending down ever since.
But wait, there’s even more!
Seventy percent (70%) of voters expect government spending to increase during the Obama years. That’s up from 54% when he was elected and 63% since Inauguration Day.
Only six percent (6%) expect the Obama administration to reduce government spending.
Seventy-one percent (71%) say the president’s policies have increased the size of the federal deficit.
Seventy-six percent (76%) believe it is at least somewhat likely that taxes will have to be raised on the middle class to cover the cost of health care reform, even though 54% think middle class tax cuts are more important than new spending on health care.
Other recent survey data shows that 76% now view the president as politically liberal.
Note to the American people: You may want to find other sources for news, especially during election cycles, than the main stream media. This is what we get stuck with when the average voter believes what the media sells them.
That is the object of the game. All of a sudden Obama will be “shocked” by the amount of debt after spending trillions on his pet projects that only benefit a few of his favorites. “We have to do something about this unacceptable debt level” All of us know what that “something” is. Hang on to your wallets!! Here comes the tax man.

We need tax policies that preserve America’s global competitiveness, and we need to oppose policies that reduce businesses’ ability to grow. Make the tax system simple and fair. A successful economy encourages investment and rewards achievement. It would be the height of economic folly to target any group for a major tax increase. http://www.friendsoftheuschamber.com/takeaction/index.cfm?ID=42
