Shocking.

Basically, what the survey says is those that don't pay any tax at all are for raising the tax on the so called rich, while those that pay taxes are paying too much already.
The libtards don't understand that you can raise the tax rate on the top 2% of earners and still won't be able to cover the spending.

The top 25% of income earners(essentially, those making 70K+) already account for 85% of the personal taxes recieved on the federal level. The bottom 52% pay 0% in federal taxes. It's not the "rich" that are the problem. The "rich" finance the vast majority of gov't, despite whatever the democratic talking point of the day is. Truth is, every dollar that anyone earns over 100K could be taxed at 100%, and it wouldn't "fix" the deficit. Throw in all the profits from every Fortune 500 company, and guess what, it won't "fix" the deficit. The problem is spending, not tax revenues.
