A new poll out today, shows 60% of Americans – including 63% of independents – favor raising income tax rates on earnings over $250,000 to help get America’s fiscal house in order and avert the looming fiscal cliff. As noted in the Washington Post :
“Sixty percent of all Americans back higher taxes on higher incomes in the new Post-ABC data. Earlier this month, an identical 60 percent of voters in the presidential election said income taxes should be raised on income over $250,000, according to the national exit poll.”
One of my constituents wrote to me supporting the wealthy paying their fair share and said, “Please use your voice to remind House Republicans that ‘we the people spoke on November 6th, 2012’.” Rest assured I hear you and I will.
